Yields Mixed As Tokyo Returns From Holiday

JGBS

JGB futures have traded lower than settlement during Tokyo hours, last
-5, with some underperformance evident in the 7-20 Year sector of the
cash curve for most of the day, as the zone cheapened, vs. slight
richening elsewhere. 10-25 Year Rinban ops saw a widening of spreads,
cover ratio virtually unch.

  • Chief Cabinet Secretary Suga retained a similar tone re: the local
    COVID-19 backdrop, although Economy Minister Nishimura sounded
    a little more worried than he had been in recent times, even as the
    Tokyo case count moderated (a reminder that Sunday's often see a
    dip in testing).
  • There wasn't much else to note, with participants looking through the
    summary of opinions from the BoJ's most recent meeting. Final Q1
    CapEx data was a fair chunk softer than flash.
  • 40-Year supply headlines locally tomorrow.
