JGBS: The 10-Year JGB opened Tokyo on Monday at 150.23 instantly dipping 2 ticks
and further rallying to close at 150.36 following Abe's success gaining a
majority in the snap election and strong Coincident Index figures. 
- JGB's moved lower on the overnight alongside Tsys, weaker. Treasuries ended
Fri lower amid Fed Chair speculation and Thursday GOP-led Senate passage of
fiscal 2018 budget which spurred tax reform hopes.

support from the nation on his poise during the N. Korea Crisis. Japanese Yen
hit three month lows following the news he was victorious which paves way for
more super easy monetary policy in Abe's 'Abenomics.' Japan's ruling coalition
retained a majority and based on exit polls from public broadcaster NHK and
other media, as the opposition was fragmented and voters preferred the status
quo of lukewarm economic recovery and no drastic structural reforms. Stormy
weather in much of the country is believed to have led to a low voter turnout,
making it easier for incumbents to win votes.
