South Korean 10-year government bond yields have been volatile, driven by Bank of Korea (BoK) policy signals and external factors. Most recently, M&G's bet that rate hike expectations are overdone suggests yields may fall, but earlier signals show a hawkish BoK pushing yields up. On July 9, yields surged 8bps to 3.75% after a hawkish BoK statement. The BoK has repeatedly flagged inflation and housing risks, with a board member warning about AI bonus windfalls. However, the government cut June bond sales to stabilize the market, and the BoK held rates at 3.50% in May. Long-term, tokenization pilots could boost demand. The signals are mixed: recent bearish sentiment from hawkish BoK, but bullish from M&G and supply cuts. Short-term, yields may consolidate around 3.75% with a slight downward bias if M&G's view gains traction. Mid-term, BoK policy path remains key; if inflation persists, yields could rise further. Long-term, structural demand from tokenization and pension funds may cap yields.
