10-20y given; Currency move backs steeper 2s/10s

JGB future rebounded today, tracking the move in the USD rates market which was firmer ahead of the CPI data and as players bought safe-havens after weaker-than-expected China inflation data. Dip-buying has also contributed to the rally in the JPY rates market today, according to a dealer.

 

The lead bond future, which fell below 148 to close 147.55 yesterday, was 13-ticks higher at 147.68 in mid-afternoon Tokyo trading. The yield on the benchmark 10-year JGB was half a basis point lower at 0.453%.

 

The JPY continued to strengthen against the USD. The pair has been on a downtrend since overnight trading and fell to levels below 140.6 in domestic trading today. These compared to those traded above 144.5 last week.

 

The superlong-end of the curve saw more confident receiving interest amid the move in the currency market. A dealer reported some decent amount of offered-side flows in 20-year since market open. It traded down to 1.25bps lower of 1.035% around mid-day, after being traded in a tight range around 1.04% in the morning session.

 

10-year swaps have been offered too. It was last seen changing hands 2.5bps lower of 0.6375% before being marked unchanged at time of writing.

 

Stronger yen has backed some price action in 2-year. 2s/10s swaps therefore steepened up by a basis point to 57.75bps.
