JGBS: Yields edged higher across the curve in the morning session, with futures

trading a touch softer, as the space traded in sympathy with the global risk

appetite, although a modest bid has returned to the super-long end in afternoon

dealing. 

- BOJ Governor Kuroda took to the wires in early dealing and maintained his

optimistic growth and inflation outlook for Japan's economy, while highlighting

that the most recent survey conducted by the Bank showed that business sentiment

was hit by rising costs and uncertainty over the impact of U.S. trade disputes

on global demand.

- Participants will focus on tomorrow's 5-Year JGB supply, as well as Thursday's

20-Year issuance.

- Bulls look to 151.02-19 where the 2018 & monthly highs are situated. Daily

studies looking to correct from modestly overbought levels and the lack of

topside follow through remain concerns for bulls. In saying that, bears still

need a close below 150.89 to signal a false break higher and return initial

focus to 150.71-80
