Japanese Government Bonds Decline in Tandem with U.S. Treasury Sell-Off

Deep News
Mar 05

Japanese government bonds fell during morning trading in Tokyo, tracking an overnight decline in U.S. Treasuries. Renewed risk appetite, fueled by gains on Wall Street overnight and a rebound in Japanese equities this morning, also weighed on the domestic bond market. Additionally, investors may be adopting a cautious stance ahead of the Japanese Ministry of Finance's auction of approximately ¥700 billion in 30-year government bonds scheduled for today. Tomohisa Fujiki of Citigroup Investment Research noted in a report, "Following the rally over the past month, the appeal of the super-long-term bond sector has diminished." The rates strategist added, "Pension funds are likely to turn into net sellers as they conduct rebalancing." The yield on the 30-year Japanese government bond rose by 4 basis points to 3.390%.
