Quick comment: 10-year JGB yield hits 3%      

Key points
  • 10-year JGB yield touches key psychological threshold of 3% for first time since September 1996 just before 10-year auction results are announced

  • Proximate cause was pre-auction positioning, while underlying factors likely included uncertainty over terminal rate and concerns about fiscal expansion

  • There may be some dip-buying, but sustained decline in 10-year yield is unlikely while rate hikes continue
