...though, the likelihood of a full-scale meltdown is, if anything, less likely because of Asia's troubles. Japan may hold more than $315 billion in U.S. Treasuries, or more than 9% of the total, but the notes give Tokyo some of the highest returns in its otherwise sagging portfolio. The roughly 5.64% yield on a 10-year Treasury bond is more than 3 percentage points higher than the payout on equivalent Japanese securities.
