The Japanese government bonds remained mixed on the last trading day of the week Friday as investors have largely shrugged-off the slight increase in the country’s national core consumer price inflation (CPI), released earlier today.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year JGB note, which moves inversely to its price, jumped 15 basis points to 0.150 percent, the yield on the long-term 30-year note hovered around 0.911 percent and the yield on short-term 2-year slumped 11-1/2 basis points to -0.116 percent by 05:10GMT.
According to a report from Reuters, Japan's core consumer prices rose 1.0 percent in September from a year earlier, government data showed on Friday. The core consumer price index, which includes oil products but excludes fresh food prices, compared with economists' median estimate for a 1.0 percent annual gain. Stripping away the effect of fresh food and energy, consumer prices rose 0.4 percent in September from a year ago.
Meanwhile, the Nikkei 225 index traded 0.86 percent lower at 22,463.00 by 05:15GMT, while at 05:00GMT, the FxWirePro's Hourly JPY Strength Index remained slightly bullish at 87.72 (a reading above +75 indicates a bullish trend, while that below -75 a bearish trend).
