JGBS: JGB's went into the Tokyo close slightly higher yesterday. Futures
initially opened slightly lower tracking moves in US tsys, the contract hit lows
of 150.66 the Aug 23 low and bounced back to recover into the lunch break.
Buyers took hold in the afternoon session as Japanese stocks dropped from highs
in what was a quiet session ahead of the FOMC and BoJ. Yields mostly lower
across the curve, some bull flattening ahead of the 5-15.5 Yr enhanced liquidity
auction tomorrow. 10-Yr yield last up 0.4bp at 0.033%, bucking the trend across
the curve, swaps outperforming yields in the sector up 0.7bp at L-19.5bp.
- All focus will be on the BoJ policy meeting today. JGB's set to open Tokyo
sharply lower after dropping alongside US tsys on a hawkish FOMC.
