Mizuho Securities recommends outright longs for the upcoming JPY600bn 30y JGB auction, citing attractive 3.8% yield levels and trust bank rebalancing demand.
Key Takeaways
- 1.Yield levels for the 30y JGB (3.810% as of May 12) are significantly higher than the previous month's auction and are expected to support bidding.
- 2.Portfolio rebalancing by trust banks, driven by global equity rallies and Nikkei 225 exceeding 60,000, provides a demand cushion for domestic bonds.
- 3.Concerns over fiscal expansion due to the Takaichi administration's energy subsidies and the Iran conflict are creating yield pressure, but actual JGB issuance is unlikely to increase significantly.
