Japan's 14-year, unfunded investment push sparks market fears of a Liz Truss-style shock

Japan’s new Honebuto no Hoshin plan would channel about ¥370tn into 17 sectors by 2040 to lift growth above 1%, but investors worry about unfunded spending and debt sustainability after Japan’s debt-to-GDP peaked around 260%; markets have pushed up yields and the yen has weakened, with questions over funding sources and BoJ independence and whether the plan can outpace China, warning of a Liz Truss-style shock if financing details are missing.

30-Year Treasuries Break 5% Barrier Amid Debt Fears

The 30-year U.S. Treasury yield has topped 5% for about two weeks—the longest stretch above that level since 2007—as investors demand higher compensation for decades-long risk amid a growing budget deficit and rising debt, with competition from long-duration corporate and AI-related bonds appealing to long-horizon investors.

US Debt Clears 100% of GDP as Spending Persists

The U.S. federal debt held by the public has risen above 100% of GDP, signaling elevated leverage even as lawmakers push for more spending on defense and immigration enforcement. Analysts warn rising deficits could lift Treasury yields, raise borrowing costs, and crowd out private investment, while political will to cut deficits remains weak amid no imminent crisis.

US debt tops GDP for the first time since WWII, prompting fiscal reform debate

America's national debt now exceeds its GDP for the first time since World War II, with debt held by the public around $31.27 trillion and GDP about $31.22 trillion (gross debt near $39 trillion). The rise is driven by higher spending, tax cuts, interest costs, and aging-entitlements. The CBO projects debt held by the public to reach roughly $53 trillion by 2036, lifting the debt-to-GDP ratio to about 120% unless deficits are reduced, and groups urge a 3% of GDP deficit target to stabilize the path. Risks include higher interest costs crowding out programs, potential market confidence hits, and inflationary pressure, though some observers say the economy's growth and strong demand for U.S. debt keep the situation from an immediate crisis.
