Light Twist Steepening

JGBS

The major benchmark cash JGB yields are ultimately little changed on the day, with 10s failing to break below 0.01% thus far and some modest cheapening witnessed in the long end of the curve, resulting in some twist steepening. JGB futures hit the lunch break 2 ticks below yesterday's settlement level, unwinding the late overnight bid that was witnessed (which seemed a bit out of line vs. the likes of U.S. Tsys).

  • Comments from BoJ Deputy Governor Amamiya failed to introduce any new areas of interest, while the release of the stale minutes from the BoJ's June meeting was never going to be a major market mover.
  • The latest round of BoJ Rinban operations revealed the following offer to cover ratios:
  • 1- to 3-Year: 2.38x (prev. 2.83x)
  • 3- to 5-Year: 2.63x (prev. 2.69x)
  • 5- to 10-Year: 3.07x (prev. 1.82x)
  • JGBis: 3.19x (prev. 5.50x)
