Slightly Stronger, Fading NY Weakness in US Tsys

JGBS

JGB futures extend marginally through post-Tokyo trade lows but quickly retrace back to levels higher than the close of overnight dealing, +7 vs. settlement levels. The move from low has been assisted by slightly firmer pricing in US Tsys in Asia-Pac trade, as well as the previously outlined JiJi sources piece re: potential BoJ inflation projections for FY25.

  • Cash JGBs are flat to 0.7bp richer across the curve with the benchmark 10-year yield 0.4bp lower at 0.481%, just below the BoJ's YCC limit of 0.50%.
  • Swap spreads are marginally tighter across the curve.
  • A liquidity enhancement auction for off-the-run 5- to 15.5-Year JGBs will take place today.
  • Appearances in Parliament from Deputy Governor Uchida (0204 BST) and BoJ Governor Ueda (0236 BST) are also scheduled for today.
