JGBs Edge Higher on Possible Dip-Buying Interest -- Market Talk

Dow Jones08:15

0015 GMT - JGB prices edge higher in Asia's morning session on possible dip-buying interest after bond prices fell sharply on Monday. The yield on 10-year JGBs closed at 2.080% on Monday, the highest since February 1999. With the 10-year JGB yield having reached 2%, whether demand emerges at this major level will be a key area of focus, SMBC Nikko Securities' Ataru Okumura says in a recent research report. "A strategy of buying at current levels could generate a higher return than interest on BOJ current account deposits if yield increases remain constrained to the 2.2% level over the next 12 months," the senior Japan rates strategist adds. JGB 40-year yield is down 1 bp at 3.705%. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
