PREVIEW: 5-Year JGB Supply Due

JGBS AUCTION

The Japanese MOF will today sell 2.5tn of 5-Year JGBs, re-opening JB#154. The MOF last sold 5-Year debt on 14 October, the auction drew cover of 3.993x at an average yield of 0.081%, average price of 100.09, high yield of 0.083%, low price of 100.08, with 21.5292% of bids allotted at the high yield.

  • Outright yield levels are incrementally below prevailing levels witnessed at last month’s auction, which should result in a solid baseline level of demand, with participants set to attempt to put excess cash to work.
  • The 2-/5-Year curve has moved off cycle steeps, but current curve levels will likely provide a further source of demand given the BoJ’s on-hold mantra.
  • Results due at 0335GMT/1235JST.
