JGBS: The JGB 10-Year closed Tokyo yesterday at 150.28, it declined 21 ticks at
one point, the descent began after Pres. Trump outlined tax plans including cuts
and descended further after a weaker than previous 2-Year bond auction despite
strong predictions considering positive yields. On the over night session the
JGB 10-Year came back up slightly alongside U.S treasuries when Pres. Trump
formally announced tax cuts and Fed George supported Fed Chair Yellen's and
Rosengren's hints further towards a Dec rate hike. JGB's opened Tokyo at 150.35,
bouncing slightly on the open to 150.39, now back down.
- Later today BOJ purchases will be out, Tuesday's purchases moved markets when
offers came in heavy so we'll look to that. 
- Some significant Japan data: Japan Core CPI (0.7% from 0.4%), Industrial
Output (2.1% from -0.8%), Household Spending (0.6% from -0.2%), BOJ Summary of
Opinions, 'more easing necessary to stimulate demand.' 
- 40-Year JGB yield dropped after BOJ summary of pinions were released from
+3.5bp to -0.5bp, 10-Year at +2.2, standing strong there from the start of the
session.
