On the 24th, selling was expected to lead in both the stock and bond markets in Japan amid concern over rising US long-term yields and the breakdown of US-Canada tariff talks.
Market participants were reported to expect downward pressure to intensify, particularly on economically sensitive stocks, as the prospect of a breakdown in tariff negotiations between the US and Canada grew.
