JGBS: JGB's headed into the Tokyo close at 150.81, JGB's caught a bid after the

BoJ decision kept policy unchanged, but the vote saw an 8-1 split with a dovish

dissent. Futures dipped alongside Tsys during the US session yesterday despite

President Trump citing more sanctions on N. Korea and reactionary comments from

President Kim Jong-un.

- JGB Opening Call Barclays: 'Today could see weakness around the

short/medium-term sectors ahead of the liquidity enhancement auction for 5-15.5y

issues after bond futures edged lower overnight, but buyers could take the upper

hand in the superlong end with the supply-demand environment remaining

favorable. We expect the curve to continue to twist-flatten gradually.' 

- The yield curve looks to be setting up for the 5-15 Year enhanced liquidity

auction later today. The 10-Year yield is currently flat.
