JGBS: JGB futures eased a touch in afternoon dealing, but still finished higher

on the day, off the overnight session highs. Super-long yields finished lower

but pulled back from session lows in the afternoon.

- The space initially drew support from Brexit issues, a less positive outlook

on trade war matters and North Korea testing a new missile, but futures couldn't

breach 151.00 in Tokyo hours, despite a brief move above during the overnight

session, even with the Nikkei 225 trading lower on the day.

- The BoJ left the size of its 5-25+ Year Rinban operations unchanged today. The

offer to cover ratios of the operations can be found below.

- 5-10 Year 2.08 (prev. 2.91)

- 10-25 Year 2.71 (prev. 2.56)

- 25+ Year 2.75 (prev. 3.30)

- Credit Agricole priced its JPY 10-Year bond offering today.

- Focus next week turns to Japanese CPI, as well as Rinban operations & 20-Year

JGB supply.
