JGBS: Futures Sharply Stronger Overnight With US Tsys As Tech Suffers

JGBS

In post-Tokyo trade, JGB futures closed sharply higher, +31 compared to settlement levels, after US tsys finished Monday’s session 7-9bps richer. 

  • The rally started in yesterday’s Asia session as Chinese AI startup DeepSeek shook the broader market. New competition for US AI developers weighed heavily on chip stocks, the tech-heavy Nasdaq falling over 3% and Nvidia down 15%, spurring heavy outright buying and short covering across the board in US tsys.
  • The focus remains on Wednesday's FOMC policy announcement, no move expected, as well as today's heavy slate of US corporate earningsPACCAR, Sysco Corp, Synchrony Financial, Lockheed Martin Corp, Veradigm, Royal Caribbean, Polaris Inc., Boeing, NextEra Energy, JetBlue Airways, General Motors, Kimberly-Clark Corp, Invesco, Starbucks, Qorvo and Stryker Corp.
  • In Asia, attention will remain on the tech-related equity fallout, although several Asian markets, including China, are closed for LNY celebrations.
  • Today, the local calendar will see PPI Services and Machine Tool Orders data alongside BoJ Rinban Operations covering 1-5-year and 10-25-year JGBs. The market expects a 3.2%y/y outcome for PPI Services (prior was 3.0%).
