JGBS: Futures ultimately added 13 ticks to Tokyo settlement, building on
yesterday's futures driven rally, with global risk aversion heightened, forcing
USD/JPY back below Y110.00.
- In terms of local matters, late Thursday saw PM Abe note that he will ask all
schools to close temporarily from March 2 as the country battles against
coronavirus. We also saw another 15 virus cases declared in Hokkaido.
- Also, worth flagging that Dai-Ichi Life Research Institute has suggested that
Japan would lose ~Y5.9tn if the summer Olympics were cancelled later this year.
- Month-end data dump, including Tokyo CPI, labour market data, retail sales,
industrial production as well as 2-Year supply headline the local docket today.
