Japan Bond yields see steepest decline in 3 months amid mounting economic uncertainty
Japanese government bonds experienced a surge, causing benchmark yields to plummet due to escalating concerns about a potential global trade war's economic repercussions. This surge mirrored a decline in U.S. Treasury yields following weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs data, fueling speculation about a possible delay in interest rate hikes by the Bank of Japan.

The 10-year JGB yield fell 6.5 basis points (bps) to 1.485%, set for the sharpest one-day decline since April 16. The five-year yield fell 7.5 bps to 1.005%.
"JGB yields are tracking declines of U.S. Treasury yields," said Keisuke Tsuruta, a senior fixed income strategist at
Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities
. "The declines in yields were also supported by expectations that the Bank of Japan may delay interest rate hikes due to a possible slowdown of the U.S. economy."

Some foreign visitors will have to pay bond of up to $15,000 to enter US under new programme
NEW YORK: The Trump administration is implementing a pilot programme under which foreign visitors arriving in the US on tourist or business visas could be required to pay a 'bond' of up to USD 15,000 to ensure they don't overstay their visas. The countries that would come under the purview of the programme have not been announced yet. The US State Department has issued a 'temporary final rule' under which a 12-month long visa bond pilot programme will be started. The State Department said that under this pilot programme, foreign individuals applying for the B-1/B-2 visas to come into the US for business or tourism could be required to post a bond of up to USD 15,000. The Department said that the rule is described as a " key pillar of the Trump administration's foreign policy to protect the United States from the clear national security threat posed by visa overstays and deficient screening and vetting". "Individuals applying for visas as temporary visitors for business or pleasure (B-1/B-2) and who are nationals of countries identified by the Department as having high visa overstay rates, where screening and vetting information is deemed deficient, or offering Citizenship by Investment, if the alien obtained citizenship with no residency requirement, may be subject to the pilot programme," the department said in a public notice. It said consular officers may require covered nonimmigrant visa "applicants to post a bond of up to USD 15,000 as a condition of visa issuance, as determined by the consular officers". The pilot programme, expected to start this month, will be effective till August 5, 2026. The pilot programme appears to be part of the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration, a key agenda of the US president's electoral run and his second term in the White House. The public notice states that over the years, it has been found that hundreds of thousands of nonimmigrant visitors do not depart the US timely and overstay their visas. While the public notice does not mention which countries will come under the purview of the programme, it said that the State Department will announce the covered countries within at least 15 days before the pilot programme takes effect and this list will be amended as required. "In announcing the covered countries, the Department will also provide a brief explanation of the basis for requiring bonds consistent with this rule," it said. "The pilot programme is further designed to serve as a diplomatic tool to encourage foreign governments to take all appropriate actions to ensure robust screening and vetting for all citizens in matters of identity verification and public safety and to encourage specified countries with visa overstays to ensure their nationals timely depart the United States after making temporary visits." "The public notice said that by its design and intention, the pilot programme is a tool of diplomacy, intended to encourage foreign governments to take immediate action to reduce the overstay rates of their nationals when travelling to the United States for temporary visits". The notice also cites estimates by the Department of Homeland Security, which said that in the DHS FY 2023 Overstay Report, data indicated there were over 500,000 suspected in-country overstays, - individuals who remained in the country past the end of their authorised stay and had yet to depart the country - among nonimmigrants admitted through air or sea ports of entry. Through the programme, the Department seeks to send a message to all countries to take immediate action to encourage their nationals to comply with US immigration law, it said.

Ashok Malik Says India's Russian Oil Trade Is Legal, Transparent, and No Sanctions Are Breached
/ Aug 05, 2025, 09:51AM IST India is being unfairly targeted in Donald Trump's latest outburst over Russian oil purchases, says Ashok Malik, India Head of The Asia Group. In a strong rebuttal to tariff threats, Malik states that India is not breaching any sanctions or price cap agreements—and the country's energy diplomacy was established in full view of the West, including the US. He warns that Trump's remarks reflect domestic political compulsions and not the reality of India's responsible foreign policy. 'India is collateral damage in Trump vs Putin,' says Malik, urging New Delhi to stay the course and not be bullied by vague accusations. This bold stand from one of India's foremost strategic experts shows how India must assert its sovereign right to choose partners and secure energy needs, without falling into the trap of Western blame games.#ashokmalik #russianoil #indiarussiaoil #trumptariff #indiausrelations #energysecurity #crudeoilpricecap #ukrainewarimpact #indiarussia #usindiatrade #geopolitics #donaldtrump #putin #eurasianpolitics #globalenergymarket #india #breakingnews #trending #bharat #toi #toibharat #indianews
