JGBs trade in a tight range as reports on bond buyback, stimulus measures weigh
TOKYO: Japanese government bonds moved in a narrow range on Tuesday as traders weighed reports about lawmakers considering a possible buyback of longer-dated debt and fresh stimulus measures. The 30-year JGB yield fell to as low as 2.86% earlier in the session. It was last trading at 2.92%, up 1 basis point (bp) from the previous session. Yields move inversely to prices. Reuters reported that Japan is considering buying back some super-long government bonds issued in the past at low interest rates. The move shows the finance ministry's willingness to improve demand for bonds with super-long maturities, whose yields touched record highs last month, said Naoya Hasegawa, chief bond strategist at Okasan Securities. The latest report comes as the market awaits details of the ministry's bond sale plans. Reuters reported last month that it was considering a cut in the sale of super-long bonds. The Ministry of Finance, which oversees the government's debt issuance, will reach a final decision on the buybacks after holding meetings with bond market participants on June 20 and June 23, the sources told Reuters. Meanwhile, local media reported on Tuesday that Japan's ruling coalition agreed to include a plan to distribute cash handouts in their election campaign pledges. The move, which adds to concerns over the government's already tattered finances, prompted investors to sell shorter-dated bonds, said Katsutoshi Inadome, senior strategist at Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Asset Management. JGB yields track US peers higher after resilient labour data The 10-year JGB yield rose to as high as 1.48%, before easing to 1.475%, up 0.5 bp from the previous session. The five-year yield was flat at 1.03%, after rising to 1.04% earlier in the session. 'Without the report on bond buybacks, the JGBs could have seen a sell-off across the curve,' Inadome added.

Japanese shares rise for third day on tech optimism, JGB support
TOKYO: Japanese shares climbed on Tuesday for a third consecutive day, buoyed by gains in technology stocks and investor optimism over the government's efforts to stabilise the debt markets. The Nikkei 225 Index climbed 0.9% while broader Topix was up 0.5%. There were 171 advancers on the Nikkei index against 52 decliners. Stocks advanced alongside Japanese government bonds (JGBs), which have been moving increasingly in tandem amid rising concerns over the country's fiscal health and borrowing costs. Japanese Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato said the government will work to ensure confidence in the JGB market, a day after Reuters reported the finance ministry is considering buying back some super-long-dated bonds to contain rising yields. 'We see lower interest rates and a stable dollar-yen exchange rate as supporting the Japanese stock market today,' said Maki Sawada, an equities strategist at Nomura Securities. Chip-sector suppliers Advantest and Shin-Etsu Chemical jumped 4% and 2.4%, respectively, following a nearly 2% surge in the Philadelphia SE semiconductor index overnight. Japan's Nikkei jumps as chip stocks rally ahead of Sino-US talks Shares of Mazda Motor rose 1.4% as the yen weakened to the 145 level against the dollar, providing a boost to exporters. The top percentage gainer in the Nikkei was Sumitomo Pharma , which jumped 5.8%, followed by motor maker Nidec, up 4.8%. Space startup ispace, which had a second moon lander crash into the lunar surface last week, saw its shares rebound 5.2% after they fell by their daily limit for two straight sessions.

Dollar firms as traders await details from US-China talks
SINGAPORE: The US dollar firmed on Tuesday as Washington and Beijing remained locked in trade talks that left investors on edge and hesitant in placing major bets while looking ahead to the US inflation report later in the week. Top officials from the world's two largest economies sought to defuse a bitter dispute that has widened from tariffs to restrictions over rare earths, with trade talks extending to a second day in London. The talks come after US President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping spoke by phone last week and at a crucial time for both economies, which are showing signs of strain from Trump's cascade of tariff orders since January. The lack of firm details despite positive sentiment from some officials and Trump meant the currency moves were mostly tepid. The euro eased 0.17% to $1.14 and sterling was at $1.3543. The dollar index, which measures the US currency against six key rivals, was 0.2% higher at 99.189, but remained near six-week lows it touched last week. The index is down 8.7% this year as investors, worried about the impact of tariffs and trade tensions on the US economy and growth, flee US assets and look for alternatives. 'The extension of talks and some positive sound bites from the US officials could offer short-term relief, markets are unlikely to buy into this optimism without real structural progress,' said Charu Chanana, chief investment strategist at Saxo. Washington and Beijing are trying to revive a temporary truce struck in Geneva that had briefly lowered trade tensions and calmed markets. 'Unlike the Geneva talks, where tariff relief provided easy wins, the London talks are now tackling thornier issues like chip export controls, rare earths, and student visas,' said Chanana. 'These are long-term, strategic matters not easily resolved over a few days. That makes it harder to deliver a positive surprise.' The Australian dollar, often seen as a proxy for risk sentiment, was flat at $0.652, while the New Zealand dollar was a touch softer at $0.60425, but stayed close to the seven-month peak it hit last week. The Japanese yen weakened after comments from Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda suggested the timing of the next interest rate hike could be pushed back. US dollar climbs after data The BOJ is due to meet next week and is expected to stand pat on rates. 'Once we have more conviction that underlying inflation will approach 2% or hover around that level, we will continue to raise interest rates to adjust the degree of monetary support,' Ueda told parliament. While risks to Japan's export-heavy economy from Trump's tariffs have pushed backed market bets on the next rate-hike timing, investors are on the look-out for any clues from Ueda on how soon rate increases could resume. The yen was last 0.2% weaker at 144.90 per dollar but has gained over 8% against the greenback this year on safe-haven flows during the market tumult unleashed by Trump's tariff chaos. 'While the timing of BOJ policy normalisation may be deferred,' it is not derailed, said Christopher Wong, a currency strategist at OCBC in Singapore. Wong said the policy divergence between the BOJ and the Federal Reserve and dollar diversification theme should help the yen strengthen in the near term. Investor focus this week will be on the consumer price index report for May, due on Wednesday. The report could give insight into the tariff impact at a time investors are wary of any flare-ups in inflation ahead of the Fed's policy meeting next week. OCBC's Wong said the inflation data may be a binary risk. 'A firmer print may lead to further upticks in dollar/yen but an underwhelming print should see dollar/yen trade lower.' The US central bank is widely expected to hold rates steady, with Fed officials having signalled that they are in no rush to cut rates. Traders are pricing in nearly two 25-basis point cuts by the end of the year.
