Berkshire Hathaway Explores Second Yen Bond Sale Amid Shifting BOJ Policy Outlook

Berkshire Hathaway Inc., led by Warren Buffett, is preparing a second yen bond offering this year, amidst lowered expectations for interest rate hikes in Japan. The company is considering a multi-tranche deal, including 30-year bonds, with potential pricing above current market rates. This move follows a decline in Japanese corporate bond yields, influenced by new Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba`s stance against immediate rate increases by the Bank of Japan. Market observers are paying close attention as Berkshire Hathaway`s yen bond issuances often precede investments in Japanese companies, impacting the Japanese stock market.
