Unchanged Overnight

JGBS

JGB futures coiled in overnight trade, going out at unchanged levels even as the U.S. Tsy curve was subjected to some modest bullish flattening pressure, with little in the way of major macro headline flow observed.

  • On the COVID front, Monday saw the U.S. issue a do not travel advisory re: Japan, a mere 2 months ahead of the scheduled opening of the Tokyo Olympics
  • Reports in the Yomiuri have noted that Japan will extend the life of its zero-interest loan programme.
  • Tuesday's local docket will be headlined by machine tool orders data and a liquidity enhancement auction for off-the-run JGBs with 5- to 15.5-Years until maturity.
  • The proximity to Thursday's 40-Year JGB auction may limit the longer end of the curve.
