Strong Demand Metrics For 30Y Supply

JGBS AUCTION

30-year supply sees strong demand metrics. The low price beat dealer expectations (which stood at 93.30 per the BBG poll) and the cover ratio increased to 3.591x from 3.245x in May. It is noteworthy that the auction tail also narrowed.

  • Like Tuesday's 10-year supply, today's outcome establishes a more optimistic tone ahead of next week’s BoJ monetary policy decision for a market that has experienced mounting pressure since mid-December, fueled by expectations of policy tightening from the BoJ.
  • The higher outright yield and steeper curve likely bolstered demand at today's auction.
  • JGB futures have gapped to session highs in the early rounds of afternoon trading and the 30-year JGB is dealing 3bps lower in post-auction trade.
