Japanese banks are returning to domestic bonds as yields surge.

Japanese banks and insurers are returning to domestic bonds after years of seeking returns overseas, as yields have surged. Investors are watching closely to see whether this signals a broader repatriation of capital by the country's institutions after decades of investing internationally.

Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group has begun wading back into Japanese bonds, though the bank remains concerned about further yield spikes driven by fiscal and monetary policy risks.
