JGBS: *Correct* (Correcting the label of the previous bullet to JGBs from Aussie
Bonds)
AUSSIE BONDS: USDJPY has begun the week on the front foot and last trades above
107.00 with US index futures also continuing to push higher.
- Focus in Japan today will fall on the BoJ's Rinban operations in the 5-10 Year
sector, with the only domestic economic releases of note being the final
December readings for the leading & coincident indices.
- Barclays suggest that "today could see the firm tone continue around the
super-long end due in part to a break without super-long auctions after USTs
bull-flattened over the weekend. The BoJ will hold buying operations for 5-10y
issues and also likely for -1y issues and floaters. This week's highlights
include a 2y auction on Tuesday, the BoJ's JGB buying operation plans for March
on Wednesday and a 10y auction on Thursday. We expect the BoJ to keep its
purchasing ranges unchanged across all sectors."
