40-Year Supply Passes Smoothly

JGBS AUCTION

{JN} JGBS: 40-Year Supply Passes Smoothly

Smooth enough takedown of the latest round of 40-Year JGB supply sees the high yield print below wider expectations (which stood at 1.640%, per the BBG dealer poll), while the cover ratio nudged higher ticking above the 6-auction average (which sat at 2.44x). We suggested that the recent shift higher in yields and subsequent stabilsation after the BoJ’s January meeting would likely provide solid demand at today’s auction, with the cover ratio likely capped by continued unease re: the BoJ and carry considerations in RV plays. Futures & cash 40s richen at the margins in the first few minutes after the auction.
