and a high spread of 0.005% with 70.9090% of the bids allotted at the high

worth of the supply, with 40-Year JB5 & JB7 accounting for a combined Y95.7bn.
- This auction may garner attention as it is the first super-long offering since
the BOJ trimmed the upper and lower bounds of the size of its 25+ Year Rinban
operations for October back on Friday, with the first super-long Rinban
operation of the month not taking place until tomorrow.
- Concession being built into the curve on the back of the shift higher in U.S.

levels since October of last year.
- Results due at 0435BST/1235JST.
