The market is preparing for the Bank of Japan to reduce its purchases of ultra-long-term Bonds.

Analysts say that when the Bank of Japan releases its second quarter bond purchasing plan next week, it may take another key step towards reducing its massive presence in the bond market, which may include cutting the scale of purchases for ultra-long-term bonds. According to the quantitative tightening (QT) plan established in July, the Bank of Japan's government bond purchase scale decreases by about 400 billion yen (2.65 billion USD) every quarter, halving the monthly purchase scale to 3 trillion yen by March 2026. However, the Bank of Japan has not reduced its purchases of ultra-long-term government bonds. Decreasing purchases of ultra-long bonds would reinforce the Bank of Japan's determination to continue advancing policy normalization.
