PREVIEW: 30-Year JGB Supply Due

JGBS AUCTION

The Japanese MOF will today sell Y900bn of 30-Year JGB's re-opening JB#72. The MOF last sold 30-Year debt on November 9, the auction drew cover of 3.449x at an average yield of 0.683%, average price of 100.42, high yield of 0.685%, low price of 100.35, with 24.8033% of bids allotted at the high yield.

  • 30s currently provide a YtM of comparable nature when compared to the prevailing levels witnessed at the November auction, with continued life insurer demand observed in the super long end of the curve in recent weeks.
  • The 5-/30-Year yield spread hasn’t moved much at all in recent months, even with lifer demand in the long end evident. The same holds true for the likes of the 10-/30- & 20-/30-Year yield spreads, with 10s and 20s both providing more attractive carry & roll propositions when compared to 30s.
  • On the plus side, we note that worry re: a notable increase in longer dated coupon issuance, to facilitate the funding of the supplementary budget/fiscal stimulus, seems to have receded for now.
  • Results due at 0335GMT/1235JST.
