The 20-year Japanese government bond (JGB) yield slipped to a record low on Wednesday, as investor demand for super long maturities remained intact following the previous day’s strong 30-year debt sale.
The 20-year yield touched a record low of 0.215 per cent. JGB yields have declined steadily, with those on most maturities near historic lows, under the Bank of Japan’s debt-buying scheme.
