Japan’s debt bomb is ticking. Their 40-year bond yields just hit 2.5%, the highest ever.

With a debt-to-GDP ratio over 200%, rolling over that debt at higher rates is a financial death sentence. Worse, the Bank of Japan holds 70% of their bonds — meaning if the market crumbles, the central bank collapses too. Japan’s experiment of perpetual debt-funded growth is unraveling fast. Once confidence breaks, their economy could implode overnight. This is a warning for the entire world.
