what happened
Yields on Japanese government bonds moved lower after U.S. Treasury yields dropped overnight. Demand for JGBs is also being supported by a slide in domestic equities and uncertainty over French debt problems. Investors are watching the French bond market closely, along with the likely pace of Bank of Japan rate hikes.
According to government data released Friday, Japanese consumer prices excluding fresh food rose 2.1% year on year in September, up from 1.7% in August. The figure keeps expectations for another rate increase by the end of the year in place. The 10-year JGB yield fell 9 basis points to 2.790%. The information was reported by Market Talk.
why it matters
Two factors matter for markets here. Faster inflation supports expectations of tighter Bank of Japan policy, while debt uncertainty in Europe increases interest in Japanese government bonds as a safe-haven asset. Both factors feed into JGB yields and the yen.
