10y JGB yield above 0.5% after weak 20y sale

JGB future was marginally lower at the open, but dipped by 20-ticks in mid-morning domestic trading. The selloff continued after lunch break after weak demand at the auction.

 

Earlier today, the MOF sold JPY1.1991rn worth of its JPY1.2trn 20-year 1.4% JGBs (Number 183R) at tender. The auction drew bids worth 3.05 times, down from 3.36 times last month. Average yield was 1.306%. The tail widened from 0.02 last month to 0.13.

 

Dealers said the market was watching closely this auction after the selloff in January, and that the results were very disappointing.

 

JGB future closed the day 22-ticks lower at 146.43, and the yield on the benchmark 10-year JGB was marginally higher at 0.502%.

10-year swaps were better bid in the morning when it traded 0.5-0.75bp higher. Weak demand at the 20-year auction, as well as 10-year JGB yield shooting above 0.5%, then triggered good amount of paying there. A trader reported paying at up to 0.8775% in mid-morning Tokyo trading, steepening 2s/10s swaps by a basis point intraday before being marked 0.75bp steeper at 66.5bps at time of writing.

 

7-year has been slightly better bid, and has been traded in a tight range around 0.5bp higher of 0.635%, leaving 7s/10s swaps unchanged at 21.25bps.
