Japan's government is considering a supplementary budget to subsidize household fuel costs ahead of summer, according to unnamed sources cited by Kyodo News, though both Prime Minister Takaichi and Chief Cabinet Secretary Kihara have publicly downplayed the need for extra spending. The unconfirmed report was sufficient to push 30- and 40-year JGB yields higher on anticipated debt issuance. The plan's status remains uncertain given the conflicting signals from senior officials.
