Japanese government bonds and US Treasuries often move in tandem. Japan’s Ministry of Finance is scheduled to auction approximately 2.6 trillion yen of 10-year sovereign securities on Tuesday. Tomohisa Fujiki of Citi Investment Research stated in a research report: "Due to rising stock prices, we expect pension funds’ rebalancing needs to generate buying interest." The rate strategist added that, however, due to foreign exchange intervention, "the yen has already appreciated, which will marginally reduce the demand for yen-denominated bonds." The yield on the 10-year Japanese government bond rose by 2 basis points to 2.540%, marking the highest intraday level since June 1997.
