Light 10-30y bid; Curve steeper to the back-end

JGB future extended losses today, underperforming the selloff in short-dated US treasuries in overnight trading.

 

The sentiment in the JPY rates market has also been supported by an improvement in PPI, which grew at 0.1% month-on-month in July following 0.1% of contraction in the previous month.  

 

In early-afternoon Tokyo trading JGB future was down 27-ticks at 146.9, and the yield on the benchmark 10-year JGB was little changed at 0.58%.

 

Trading in swaps has been largely from the 10-year point with relatively busier flow in 10-year. A trader noticed paying in 10-year mostly between 0.76% and 0.7675% in the morning, up from previous close of 0.75%.

 

30-year traded briefly between previous close of 1.275% and 1.3% near market open but trading interest there faded very soon.

 

Price action along the curve in later trading saw steepening of the curve all the way to the back-end. 10s/30s swaps steepened up by a basis point to 53.5bps at time of writing.
