JGBS AUCTION
JGBS AUCTION: The Japanese Ministry of Finance (MOF) will today sell Y2.2tln
0.1% 5-Year JGB's, a reopening of issue #133.
- The MOF previously sold 5-Year paper on September 12th, drawing an average
yield of 0.110% and a cover of 4.07x.
- Barclays said: "We expect the 5y auction (JS133) to clear smoothly assuming
yields around current levels (WI close on 18 October: -0.08%). Given that those
yields are above -0.10%, the auction should attract a certain level of demand.
With three BoJ buying operations for 1-5y issues between today's auction and the
month-end, there will likely be short-term demand related to these operations in
addition to short covering"
- Results Scheduled for 0445BST/1245JST
