Japan's bond market just hit turbulence. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi pushed through a massive $137 billion spending package last month, and investors aren't happy about it. The government's fiscal outlook has become a flashpoint—traders are now in a tense standoff with policymakers over where this debt trajectory is heading. Someone apparently showed Takaichi a bond chart during the final stages of her plan. Whether that visual warning changed anything remains unclear, but the market's message is loud: fiscal expansion at this scale comes with consequences. Bond yields don't lie, and right now they're telling a story about confidence—or the lack of it.

Japan really went all in this time; after throwing in $13.7 billion, the market immediately turned against them.

The Japanese bond market is acting up again; 137 billion really can't hold up.

Japan really can’t hold on with this move—still desperately dumping 137 billion? The bond market is showing you its true colors.

This move by the Japanese government is truly outrageous—after throwing in $137 billion, the bond market turned hostile right away.

The Japanese government spends money without batting an eye, and the market immediately slaps back.

This move in the Japanese bond market is basically classical Keynesianism clashing head-on with modern market efficiency... $13.7 billion thrown in, and the yield curve immediately sounds the alarm. Isn't this a textbook case of rational expectations failing?

Japan's current wave of fiscal expansion is really unsustainable; even the bond market is rebelling.
