TOKYO: Most Japanese government bond prices rose on Tuesday as a successful 10-year debt sale offset a rally in Tokyo equities.

The bid-to-cover ratio, a gauge of demand, at the 2.6 trillion yen ($24.51 billion) 10-year debt sale was at 3.64, little changed from the previous auction's 3.66.

Following the auction result, benchmark 10-year JGB futures added 0.15 point to 152.37, with a trading volume of 23,299 lots, while the 10-year JGB yield fell 1 basis point to 0.010pc.

The 20-year JGB yield edged down half a basis point to 0.390pc.

The 30-year JGB yield was unchanged at 0.550pc.

At the shorter end of the curve, the two-year JGB yield stood flat at minus 0.140pc, while the five-year yield lost 1 basis point to minus 0.125pc.
