JGBs Edge Lower, Tracking Declines in U.S. Treasurys

0019 GMT — JGBs edge lower in early Tokyo trade, tracking this morning’s mild price declines in Treasurys amid signs that the U.S. government shutdown may end. Both JGBs and Treasurys tend to move in tandem. The U.S. Senate is weighing a possible Sunday evening vote to fund the federal government through January and end the shutdown. There may also be some negative sentiment arising from this morning’s release of the BOJ’s Summary of Opinions from the October meeting, which included one showing it’s likely that conditions for taking a further step toward rate normalization have almost been met. The 10-year JGB yield is up 1.5 bps at 1.690%. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
