Market ReportRates Govt BondsFinancials

JGB yields rose following overseas rate increases, led by 10yr underperformance, but the super-long sector saw strong buying late in the session ahead of tomorrow's 30yr auction.

Key Takeaways

  • 1.The 10yr JGB underperformed during the session despite a strong auction result on the previous day, likely due to position unwinding.
  • 2.The yield curve initially bear steepened but flattened back as the 30-40yr sectors outperformed sharply toward the market close.
  • 3.A 30yr JGB auction is scheduled for May 14, with market participants anticipating buying demand from pension funds at current levels.
