Institutional demand for Japanese government bonds is weakening:

In the first 7 months of 2025, insurers sold more super-long JGBs than they bought, putting them on track to be net sellers for the first time in history.

Super-long bonds include maturities of 20, 30, and 40 years.

Trust banks, often seen as proxies for pension funds, bought a net 1.47 trillion Yen of super-long JGBs, about ~34% below the 5-year average.

By comparison, they bought 7.39 trillion Yen throughout the entire 2024.

The pullback in demand has contributed to Japan’s 30Y Bond Yield rising to 3.19%, near a record high.

Japan's bond market needs help.
