softer, as the space trades in sympathy with the global risk appetite.

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

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

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

focus to 150.71-80.
