This scenario could add pressure on Japan\u2019s central bank to shift its ultra-low rate policy if inflationary pressures emerge domestically due to a weaker yen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Outlook and Market Sentiment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two-year JGB yield, more sensitive to shifts in monetary policy, reached 0.475%, a level last seen in 2008.
