JGBS: Cash Bonds Cheaper At Lunch Ahead Of 40Y Supply

JGBS

At the Tokyo lunch break, JGB futures are weaker, -11 compared to the settlement levels.

  • Outside of the previously outlined BoJ July MPM, there hasn't been much by way of domestic drivers to flag.
  • Cash US tsys are ~0.5bp richer in today’s Asia-Pac session after yesterday’s bear-steepening.  Today’s US calendar will see Weekly Claims, GDP, PCE, Cap Goods, Durables, and Pending Home Sales data alongside a flurry of Fed speakers: Barr, Cook, Kashkari, Williams and Chairman Powell.
  • Cash JGBs are cheaper across benchmarks, with the 40-year (+3.3bps) leading ahead of today's supply.
  • The late July auction of 40-year JGBs encountered a tepid reception, with the actual high yield overshooting dealer expectations.
  • The current 40-year auction yield is approximately 5bps lower than in late July, but the 20/40 yield curve is 15bps steeper and near the steepest for the past 12 months.
  • Swap rates are flat to 6bps higher, with the curve steeper. Swap spreads are mixed.
