🚨 SOMETHING BIG IS HAPPENING IN JAPAN.
Japan’s four largest life insurers are reportedly sitting on roughly $96 billion in bond losses.
Why should global markets care?
Because Japanese insurers are major holders of bonds — including U.S. Treasuries.
If losses deepen and insurers need to rebalance portfolios, U.S. Treasury selling could accelerate, putting upward pressure on yields and adding volatility to global markets.
But there’s another side to this:
If Japanese bond markets stabilize and the pressure on insurers eases, forced selling could fade — potentially providing relief for global bonds and risk assets.
The key variable isn’t just Japan.
It’s whether Japan’s insurers become forced sellers or eventual buyers.
Watch Japanese yields.
Watch the yen.
Watch U.S. Treasury flows.
This could become a much bigger global macro story. 📉🇯🇵🇺🇸
