Reconciling our latest forecasts for JGBs and the yen

Although the 10-year JGB yield has dropped back by about 10bp since the Bank of Japan refrained this week from abandoning Yield Curve Control, we think the yield will rebound when – or quite possibly before – a new Governor ditches the policy in April. After all, there is still a significant “kink” in the curve that suggests the 10-year JGB yield would be closer to 0.75% than 0.5% if it weren’t being held down by the Japanese central bank’s bond purchases.

In view of the wider interest we are also sending the Capital Daily to clients of our Global Markets Service.
