the Bank of Japan is reported to have bought over $100 billion of U.S. Treasury ... it has enabled long term bond rates to remain artificially depressed this author is very confused. he seems to think BOJ is buying long-dated Treasurys when all their buying (and all new supply) is concentrated close-in. US Government don't care no long rates; Treasury financing is an ARM with a 1yr duration, which is why US Govt interest payments continue to DECLINE even as deficits and debt rise. Unless the Bank of Japan buys $200 billion of T-bonds next month well, if they bought $200billion of T-bonds, they would have to buy EVERY bond in existence, and then some! there's less than $200 billion in existence.
