JGB 10-year yields remain above BOJ’s implied limit at the end of the Tokyo session

Trouble in heaven for the BOJ? That seems to be the case with your attempt to keep control of the yield curve:

Yields on the 10-year JGB are rising above the 0.25% mark to 0.255% and holding there with 30 minutes left in the Tokyo cash market close. As a reminder, the BOJ has an implicit cap on yields of 0.25%.

They already have unlimited bids to bid 10yr JGB at 0.25% yield, but now they have announced that they will also buy the belly of the curve tomorrow.

The central bank says it will make an additional set of purchases of ¥500 billion in notes with maturities of more than 5 years and up to 10 years.

This will be a key area to watch in the coming week to see how much the BOJ will spend to keep its yield curve control policy intact.
