JGBS
JGBS: A quiet session to start the week yesterday saw JGB's add marginally to
losses sustained overnight during Tokyo hours. JGB futures dropped to session
lows in the early part of trade and stayed in a narrow range for the rest of the
session, subdued by positive PPI data and lack of catalysts in the rest of the
session. US tsys flattened during the session, pressured by heavy corporate
issuance in thin trade.
- JGB Opening Call Barclays: "With little movement in the US and Europe
overnight, today could see the JGB market correct around the short/medium-term
sectors ahead of the 5y auction (JS133), but retrace somewhat afterward on
decent auction results. We expect the auction to clear smoothly assuming yields
near current levels (WI close on 13 November: -0.105%). Yields of around -0.10%
should spur a certain level of demand amid expectations that current monetary
policy will remain intact for longer. In the absence of any major events
globally this week and given that the BoJ will still conduct two more buying
operations for 1-5y issues (with a diminished risk of reductions in size) after
today's auction, we believe demand for BoJ trades can be expected."
