JGBs: -22 ticks

  • Retreated with prices returning to beneath the 130.00 level following the recent mild rebound in oil prices, while there was also an acceleration in PPI data and recent comments from BoJ Deputy Governor Himino, who said they will take the most appropriate policy to stably hit the inflation target, considering scale and duration of shocks and broader economic environment.
