Bond Market NewsBank of Japan (BOJ) Market NewsBulletMarketsFixed Income

  • Much softer than expected domestic industrial production data (which resulted in the government lowering its assessment of the state of industrial production to “weak”) had no impact on the space.
  • Cash JGBs have richened by 0.5-4.0bp, with the long end outperforming, perhaps on the back of market speculation re: the prospect of the BoJ upping the size/frequency of Rinban purchases covering JGBs with more than 10 years until maturity, in a bid to defend its existing YCC settings. The BoJ will reduce its quarterly Rinban plan after hours today.
  • Looking a little further ahead, Tokyo CPI and the latest Tankan survey headline domestic matters on Friday.
