Under a perfect periodic potential, the electric current density induced by a constant electric field may exhibit nontrivial oscillations, so-called Bloch oscillations, with an amplitude that remains nonzero in the large system size limit. Such oscillations have been well studied for nearly noninteracting particles and observed in experiments. In this work we revisit Bloch oscillations in strongly interacting systems. By analyzing the spin-XXZ chain, we demonstrate that the current density at special values of the anisotropy parameterin the ferromagnetic gapless regime behaves qualitatively the same as in the noninteracting caseeven in the weak electric field limit. Whendeviates from these values, the amplitude of the oscillation under a weak electric field is suppressed by a factor of the system size. We estimate the strength of the electric field required to observe such a behavior using the Landau-Zener formula.
