- Post buying operations the JGB 10-Year came down to around 150.30 after the
25+ year buying operations came in bid/covered more than 3 times. The 10-Year
came up again after the BOJ's Sakurai made a speech, he said the current yield
curve policy of keeping the 10-Year at 0% is enough to achieve 2% target for
inflation, he said we must carefully watch to see if the economy is sustainable
and the effects of easy policy will strengthen if CPI is to rise. 
- There was an auction for Y2.3tln bills earlier in the session contributing to
some upside which drew a bid cover of 5.25x, up from the previous cover on the
last sale of 1-Year bills of 4.89x.
- Japanese Stocks have done well in today's Asia-Pac, the Topix reached decade
highs and the Nikkei topped more than 2 decade highs in the first half of the
