Japan's policy rate has reached 1% amid firmer underlying inflation and pressure on long-term government bonds. Subsidies suppress headline prices, while wage growth, services inflation and a weaker yen could prompt further tightening. Elevated super-long yields reflect fiscal concerns and changing demand, complicating normalization. Wide estimates of the neutral rate favor a flexible assessment of risks over a mechanical policy rule.

Financing the United States' role as a destination for global savings is becoming more costly, the authors argue.

Institutional portfolios increasingly channel savings into US assets. The dollar's central position persists, while the income-account cost of supplying those assets grows.

The June tracker records $26.6 billion in net emerging-market portfolio outflows during May, reversing April's inflows. Equity withdrawals of $37 billion outweighed $10.4 billion in debt investment, with selling in Korea and India driving the Asian reversal. Chinese equities still attracted funds, but Chinese debt lost investment. The note links the June market selloff, stronger US employment and a more hawkish Bank of Japan to tighter prospective liquidity conditions.
