JGBS: JGB futures provided some interest on a technically driven move below
weekly lows & the 50-DMA, last -60 ticks, at session lows threatening a test of
154.00
- Curve steepening continues with 10-Year yields now back to -0.16% after
threatening to break below -0.30% last week.
- Little to note in terms of headlines, FinMin Aso reiterated that the country's
economic fundamentals remain solid, while the new EcoMin Nishimura stated that
the gov'ts hope "on the BoJ isn't about additional monetary easing" per RTRS,
reiterating it is down to the BoJ to set MonPol.
- Continued interest in Thursday's BBG BoJ sources piece was noted. As a
reminder the piece suggested that "BoJ off'ls see a need to keep a lower limit
on JGB yields, with some of them seeing that limit around -0.3%."
- The BoJ MonPol decision provides the key point of interest next week.
