TOKYO (MNI)

The Bank of Japan on Monday conducted an unlimited purchase of Japanese Government Bonds (JGBs) with a remaining life of 5 to 10 years at a fixed-rate to curb 10-year JGB yields for the first time since Feb. 14.

The BOJ will buy 10-year bonds at 0.25%. The 10-year JGB traded around 0.245% near mid-day, up from 0.240% on Friday, and close to an upper limit from -0.25%/+0.25% that the BOJ tolerates under its yield curve control policy, see: MNI INSIGHT: BOJ Policy Could Pivot With Changing Price Views.
