Japanese government bond yields fell across the curve after U.S. Treasury yields declined overnight. On Thursday, U.S. Treasury yields moved lower, supported by a smooth long-dated bond auction and repurchase operations by the Treasury Department. Cooling market expectations for further Federal Reserve rate hikes also weighed on both U.S. and Japanese bond yields. Investors are watching the latest developments in the Iran conflict and dynamics in the French government bond market. The Japanese 10-year government bond yield fell 4.5 basis points intraday to 3.035%; the 2-year yield dropped 1.5 basis points to 1.915%; and the 30-year yield declined 4 basis points to 4.080%.
