JGBS: Futures Near Session Lows, US PPI & Claims Data Due, Q3 GDP Tomorrow
JGBS
JGB futures are holding weaker and near Tokyo session lows, -12 compared to settlement levels.
- Outside of the previously outlined weekly international investment flows, there hasn't been much by way of domestic drivers to flag.
- BOJ Deputy Governor Shinichi Uchida said the nation’s financial system has been maintaining stability with banks having sufficient capital bases and stable funding.
- Cash US tsys are 2-3bps cheaper in today’s Asia-Pac session after yesterday’s twist-steepening. The US calendar sees PPI and jobless claims data later today.
- Cash JGBs have bear—steepened across benchmarks beyond the 1-year (+3.1bps), with yields flat to 3bps higher. The benchmark 10-year yield is 1.1bps higher at 1.061% versus the cycle high of 1.108%.
- The yield on the 30-year JGB rose as high 2.312% today, its highest level since March 2010. This came despite yesterday’s supply being comfortably absorbed. The 30-year auction saw the low price beat dealer expectations and the cover ratio edge up to 3.4353x from 3.3438x. However, the auction tail did lengthen.
- Swap rates are flat to 5bps higher, with a steeper curve. Swap spreads are mixed.
- Tomorrow, the local calendar will see Q3 GDP, Industrial Production, Capacity Utilization and Tertiary Industry Index data alongside 5-year supply.
