Sliding Into The Close

JGBS
HomepageBond Market NewsBank of Japan (BOJ) Market NewsBulletMarketsFixed Income News

JGB futures have faltered into the bell, with participants seemingly unimpressed by the demand for the latest 1tn of 5-Year loans offered to banks via the BoJ’s Funds-Supplying Operations against Pooled Collateral channel (demand was actually a little higher than that seen at last week’s offering, while the average rate applied to the operation was a incrementally lower, ~30bp below prevailing 5-Year swap rates).

  • That leaves the contract on the backfoot into the close, recently registering fresh session lows to print -34, while cash JGBs are 2.5bp cheaper to 0.5bp richer as 7s lead the sell off on the weakness in futures, while the curve twist flattens with a pivot around 20s.
  • Local data had no tangible impact on the space.
  • Local headline flow was dominated by comments from Finance Minister Suzuki, who outlined the government’s agreement with the BoJ view re: the need for more meaningful wage increases, while stressing that it is too early to discuss the idea of a revision to the BoJ-government accord (likely eying the impending departure of Governor Kuroda as the tipping point on that front).
  • There was smooth enough digestion of the latest 2-Year JGB auction.
  • Final manufacturing PMI data headlines the local docket on Wednesday.
