JGBS: Futures Drift A Touch Lower, JGB Yields Unchanged

JGBS

JGB futures have had a slightly downside bias since the lunchtime break, but overall moves remain contained. The March contract (JBH5) last 142.42, -.05 versus settlement levels. US Tsy futures have been relatively steady today as market wind down for the holiday period later this week.

  • Cash JGB yields are little changed, the 10yr remaining just under 1.07% at this stage. The 10yr swap rate is around 1.015%, also little changed for the session. Aggregate moves are less than 1bps across keys parts of the JGB curve and swap rate space.
  • We do have some BoJ and data event risks this week, the mins of the BoJ Oct meeting are out tomorrow, services PPI on Wednesday (Christmas day), along with a Ueda speech. On Friday the Tokyo CPI for Dec prints.
  • It remains to be seen if these events shift market sentiment, as the central bank awaits January trends on wages (for 2025), along with early US policy shifts (under the returning Trump administration).
