In order to raise capital for Japan they have to acquire yen by selling U.S. Bonds. This is the equivilant to “buying” Yen with the U.S. Denominated Bonds. This demand for Yen causes the price to rise in general and specificially against the Dollars they are selling (via Dollar Denominated Bonds.)

If Japan dumps bonds em mass, our interest rates would soar. I'm not seeing that today in the market.

Maybe they are only dumping Euro bonds today. Where is the uptick in interest rates from a massive bond dump? I'm not seeing it on my screen.
