Free AccessReduced Appetite To Test BoJ’s Will, For Now
With 10-Year JGBs yielding close to the cap of the BoJ’s permitted trading range (-/+0.25%) we note that LCH/JSCC swap spreads covering the 10+-Year zone have widened recently, although they remain shy of their respective June highs, when foreign speculators were the driving force behind the (ultimately unsuccessful) challenge of the BoJ’s YCC settings.
- 10-Year swap spreads have re-widened, but still operate well shy of their mid-June peak.
- It would seem that the BoJ’s rhetoric and actions since mid-June have curbed at least some of the appetite for speculation surrounding capitulation re: the Bank’s current YCC settings.
- The BoJ has continued to conduct daily fixed rate operations. Last week saw the first offers received in such operations since June.
- Last week also saw the Bank step up the size of its regular 5- to 10-Year Rinban purchases.
- With global core bond yields on the up. and the higher for longer mantra headlining FOMC rhetoric, the BoJ is set to come under rounds of pressure in the months ahead, particularly with most being of the opinion that the BoJ will not alter its monetary policy stance through the end of Governor Kuroda’s current term (which ends in April ’23), a view that has received more of a backing in the wake of the Bank’s verbal and market-based commitments to its current policy settings.
