USD/JPY Wobbles as 10-Year Treasury Yield Posts Biggest Drop Since SVB

The yen is catching a bid as US Treasury yields suffer their steepest one-day decline since the Silicon Valley Bank collapse, a move that directly narrows the rate differential underpinning USD/JPY's carry appeal.

With the AI trade wobbling and broader equity sentiment souring, traders are rotating out of dollar-funded long positions and into traditional havens, putting fresh downward pressure on the pair.

Until yields stabilize, USD/JPY risks remaining reactive to every tick in the 10-year, with rate-sensitive flows likely to dominate near-term direction over domestic Japanese data.
