The yield on Japans 40-year government bonds fell 2.0 basis points to 3.785%.
On July 1st, European Central Bank (ECB) Governing Council member Demarco stated that the ECB should not rush into further interest rate hikes given the unexpectedly rapid decline in oil prices. The ECB raised rates in June, with its own forecasts based on further policy tightening. However, the rapid decline in energy costs in the following weeks strengthened the case for delaying further rate hikes. Demarco stated that lower energy costs should quickly alleviate inflation expectations and curb wage increases. This statement further strengthens the ECBs rationale for keeping rates unchanged this month, after several policymakers had previously called for patience and a pause in further action. Demarco stated that there is only reason to raise rates now if a second round of inflationary effects occurs, inflation expectations decouple, or wage increases become more prevalent. "We havent seen these scenarios yet, so given that oil prices have fallen back to levels similar to those before the conflict, we can wait for the next round of forecasts rather than hastily raising rates again and risking unnecessary damage to economic growth." He also noted that even in the more dovish scenario in the latest forecast, there is still an assumption of further policy tightening. Therefore, if future data confirms this scenario, the European Central Bank may still need to raise interest rates further.
The yield on Japans 5-year government bonds rose 2.5 basis points to 1.915%.
The yield on Japans two-year government bonds rose 2.0 basis points to 1.395%.
