    Japanese Bond Yields Jump After Weak Auction

    August 6, 2024


    What’s going on here?

    Japanese bond yields shot up on Tuesday after a disappointing 10-year JGB auction, rebounding from sharp declines earlier in the week.

    What does this mean?

    The 10-year Japanese Government Bond (JGB) yield spiked to 0.95% following a lackluster auction, finally settling up 13 basis points at 0.885%. This uptick came after yields hit record lows not seen since April, influenced by a dip in US Treasury yields and a substantial sell-off in Japanese equities. The auction’s disappointing results featured lower-than-expected accepted prices and a notable widening of the ‘tail,’ the difference between the lowest and average accepted price, to 0.5 points from 0.02. Analysts from Mizuho Securities and Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities linked weak auction outcomes and yield drops to market volatility, also noting that rising real wages stirred market sentiment.

    Why should I care?

    For markets: Bond market rollercoaster.

    Tuesday saw Japanese bond yields climbing across the board. The 20-year JGB yield rose by 17 basis points to 1.7%, while the 30-year yield jumped 19 basis points to 2.1%. Even longer-term bonds were affected, with the 40-year yield hitting 2.34%. Meanwhile, shorter-term yields like the two-year and five-year also increased by 2.5 and 6.5 basis points, respectively. For investors, these yield shifts indicate heightened volatility and a wary eye on upcoming auctions and economic conditions.

    The bigger picture: Japan’s economic puzzle.

    Japan’s real wage growth surged in June for the first time in over two years, with nominal pay rising at the quickest rate in nearly three decades. This wage growth influenced the bond market by rekindling inflation concerns. The Bank of Japan’s potential rate hike prospects dimmed due to yen strength, which cuts back on inflationary pressures. Yet, the yen’s volatility – it peaked at a seven-month high against the dollar before dropping 1% – continues to add another layer of uncertainty in this intricate economic landscape.
