JGBS: JGB futures could lean on the broader risk aversion, but also drew fresh
support from a solid 10-Year auction (some reasoning outlined in our auction
preview). As a reminder, the auction saw a tight tail & a low price that >
dealer exp. Cover ratio eased a touch, but not by much, which was more than
acceptable given the slightly lower yield levels seen at this auction. A solid
start to a heavy round of incoming supply over the next couple of weeks, with
participants on the lookout for any clues re: fiscal easing, cognisant of the
idea any fresh JGB issuance could be roiled out the curve, given the initial
supplementary budget saw issuance focused in the short-end/belly. On that note,
Finance Minister Aso wouldn't be drawn on the size of any potential
supplementary fiscal measures. Contract last +10. 30s outperformed in cash
trade, while swaps generally lagged. There was nothing in the way of notable
comments from BoJ Governor Kuroda as he pointed to the need to work closely with
the government and reiterated that the BoJ is willing to do whatever it can to
support the economy, painting a gloomy view of the current economic backdrop.
