Downside Curbed By Firmer US Futures, Back End Yields Up +2bps
JGBS
JGB futures sit a touch lower, last at 143.90, -.17 for JBM4. Earlier lows rested at 143.84. Limiting the downside may be a slightly positive bias to US Tsy futures since the open.
- Still, cash JGB yields are firmer across nearly all benchmarks, led by the backend. The 10yr is up nearly 2bps, last at 0.965%. The 20-40yr tenors are all up by more than 2bps. The 30yr yield is above 2.08%, fresh highs back to 2011.
- We have the 10yr linker auction coming up later, along with the tertiary activity index. Otherwise the calendar is light.
