JGBS: JGB futures have finally caught onto the coat tails of the rally in the
super-long end of the cash space, with the Nikkei set to close around unchanged
levels after starting higher. JGB futures last 15 ticks higher on the day.
- 10-Year JGB yields operate at -0.019% last, with 20-40 year yields at
multi-year lows, and the 5s30s curve running at the flattest level seen since
mid-July.
- Little in the way of news flow noted, with a continued focus on life insurer
demand ahead of the end of the FY as many believe they remain underweight in the
space. Morgan Stanley have suggested that lifers will need to reduce their
duration mismatch, which they believe will continue to support longer dated
paper.
- Focus next week moves to BoP data, Rinban operations, as well as 10- & 30-Year
supply.
