AI Rally Holds as Japan’s JGB Demand Stabilizes U.S. Long-Term Yields [EN]
* The original Korean post is available here. -> Korean Version "The AI rally continued. But what actually supported today’s market was demand for Japanese government bonds. Equities spoke the language of growth, while bonds confirmed duration demand." — System View Daily Market Framework [System View Quick Take] U.S. stocks held near their highs again. AI-related stocks remained at the center of the market, and risk appetite broadened somewhat as even the Russell 2000 rose. But the internal variables were not simple. JOLTS job openings were stronger than expected, and oil prices remained elevated. Under normal conditions, that combination should have added more upward pressure to long-term yields. Yet strong demand was confirmed in Japan’s 10-year JGB auction, improving global sentiment toward long-duration bonds. Today’s core variable is not AI. It is the global duration demand shown by Japanese government bonds.
