The Bank of Japan said it would buy 300 billion yen ($2.01 billion) of 5 to 10-year bonds. Japan's 10-year JGB eased slightly.
The Bank of Japan surprised markets Friday with the announcement that it will buy $2.01 billion of five to 10-year bonds.
The yield on the 10-year Japanese Government Bond yield BX:TMBMKJP-10Y fell from 0.770% earlier in the session, to 0.765%. The country’s bond yields have climbed this year, having started 2023 at 0.415%. Earlier in the session, the yield on the 30-year JGB BX:TMBMKJP-30Y reached its highest since 2013, at a level of 1.73%.
The Bank of Japan shook up global markets in July when it altered its yield curve control policy, allowing the 10-year JGB yield to reach 1%. Global bond yields have pushed even higher in recent weeks as investors price in higher-for-longer U.S. interest rates, which has weighed on global equity markets. The Nikkei 225 index JP:NIK suffered its biggest monthly loss of 2023 for September, dropping 2.3%, according to FactSet.
