The 10-year Japanese government bond yields rose 13.5 percent to 0.5 percent, reaching the upper end of the central bank’s YCC range, after it was reported that the BOJ might discuss introducing some changes to its YCC policy, underlining concerns over the impact of maintaining a looser monetary policy.
