Market sentiments towards the Turkish crisis appeared to be stabilizing, with the Turkish lira recovering some lost ground and Wall Street also closing higher overnight, whilst UST bond yields were also slightly higher across the board, OCBC Treasury Research reported.
The Bank of Japan maintained the amount in its bond-buying operation on Wednesday, further boosting the market. Traders said results of the BOJ’s buying auction in the 10-year tenor were particularly strong, Reuters reported.
