# Japan 10Y Yield Drops After Solid Bond Sale

Japan’s 10-year government bond yield fell to around 2.12% on Tuesday, hitting its lowest level in over a month following a well received auction of 5-year notes, as concerns over the country’s fiscal outlook continued to ease.

Investors will also watch a 20-year bond sale later this week for further signals on demand conditions.

Top fund manager Mark Nash purchased 10-year JGBs after closing a long held short position, citing reduced political uncertainty following Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s landslide victory in the general election.

Meanwhile, former Bank of Japan board member Saiji Adachi said on Monday that the central bank is likely to raise its benchmark rate in April, with sufficient data expected by then to support a move.

BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda also said that PM Takaichi made no specific requests during their regular meeting on Monday, reassuring markets that she is unlikely to interfere with the BOJ’s policy normalization plans.
