JGBS: Cash Bonds Richer Across Curve, BoJ Takata Speech Tomorrow

JGBS

JGB futures are stronger and near session highs, +41 compared to the settlement levels.

  • Outside of the previously outlined Jibun Bank PMIs, there hasn't been much by way of domestic drivers to flag.
  • Cash US tsys are slightly richer in today’s Asia-Pacific session after yesterday’s solid risk-off-induced gains. The major focus in the US this week is Nonfarm Payrolls on Friday. Later today we will get Trade Balance, MBA Mortgage Applications & JOLTS job openings, while the Bank Of Canada rate decision will also be watched.
  • Cash JGBs are flat to 4bps richer across benchmarks, with the futures-linked 7-year leading. The benchmark 10-year yield is 3.9bps lower at 0.888% versus the cycle high of 1.108%.
  • Swap rates are 1-2bps lower out to the 30-year and flat beyond. Swap spreads are mixed.
  • Tomorrow, the local calendar will see Labor & Real Cash Earnings and Weekly International Investment Flow data alongside 30-year supply.
  • BoJ Board Member Takata will also give a speech in Ishikawa.
