Japan's Finance Ministry confirmed on Tuesday that the government will keep a close eye on the bond market ahead of this week's upcoming auctions of ultra-long-dated securities, noting that rising interest rates could increase pressure on public finances. The authorities' increased attention is linked to a possible change in the Bank of Japan's policy, which may gradually relinquish control of the yield curve.Amid an attempted rise in the US dollar, the USD/JPY pair strengthened on Tuesday, finding support in the previously described area: 142,50-143-50. However, it should be noted that this growth does not look confident, and with a high probability the price may continue downward movement below 142.50. In such a scenario, the activity of buyers may increase again in the area of 140.00-141.50.
