The Japanese government bonds closed flat Thursday amid a successful super-long 30-year auction that drew ample demand from investors ahead of the country’s household spending data for the month of May, due today by 23:30GMT.
At close, the yield on the benchmark 10-year JGB note, which moves inversely to its price, hovered around -0.153 percent, the yield on the long-term 30-year flat at 0.344 percent and the yield on short-term 2-year also steadied at -0.216 percent.
According to a report from OCBC Treasury Research, the stabilization in the USD-CNH after hitting a high of 6.9000 may provide a further buffer for Asian FX into today’s session.
Further, the U.S. dollar may remain slightly under threat (especially against risk-related currencies) if markets chose to focus on the imminent monetary policy relaxation of global central banks floating both equities and the antipodeans.
