Failing To Hold Above 152.00

JGBS

JGB futures added 3 ticks on the day come the close, initially on catch up to the late NY move in U.S. Tsys, although the contract then ticked back to more neutral levels ahead of the lunch break. There was then a fresh bid which took the contract to best levels of the day during afternoon trade, as the BoJ's latest monetary policy decision failed to move the needle in any way, before a fade back below the 152.00 level into the close.

  • Cash trade has seen outperformance for 5+-Year JGBs, with the majority of the swap space widening vs. JGBs.
  • Focus now moves to BoJ Governor Kuroda's press conference, with a particular interest surrounding any comments that may be made re: the Bank's ongoing monetary policy review.
