Bond yields climb, stocks under pressure as Fed cut doubts resurface
TOKYO (Reuters) -U.S. Treasury yields pushed to a near four-week peak on Wednesday, lifting their Asia-Pacific counterparts and the dollar while pressuring equities, as data sowed new doubts about the timing and extent of Federal Reserve rate cuts. Benchmark U.S. 10-year yields ticked up as high as 4.568% in Tokyo trading hours, a level not seen since May 3, following poorly received two- and five-year Treasury auctions overnight. Investors were also caught off-guard by a sharp improvement in a U.S. consumer confidence measure for May. Economists had predicted a fourth straight month of weaker confidence, particularly after a tepid reading for the University of Michigan's analogous survey result from Friday.

Japan net external assets hit record high in 2023, remains world's top creditor
Japan's net external assets rose to a record 471.3 trillion yen ($3 trillion) in 2023, increasing for a sixth straight year, as a weak yen and overseas corporate acquisitions boosted the value of its foreign assets, the Ministry of Finance said on Tuesday. As a result, Japan retained its position as the world's top creditor, followed by Germany with 454.8 trillion of net external assets and China with 412.7 trillion yen as of the end of 2023, according to the ministry. A weak yen, coupled with a rise in direct investment overseas, helped Japan post a 51 trillion yen annual increase in the value of net external assets held by the Japanese government, businesses and individuals.
