JGB yields fall amid slide in US peers, fiscal year-end buying

Japanese government bond (JGB) yields fell to multi-week lows on Monday, pressured by declines in U.S. Treasury yields and as domestic long-term investors bought longer-dated bonds into the fiscal year-end. The 10-year JGB yield declined 3 basis points (bps) to 0.685% as of 0530 GMT, the lowest level since Feb. 2. The 20-year JGB yield lost 3 bps to 1.420%, the lowest in a month, while the 30-year yield dropped 3.5 bps to 1.680%, a level last seen on Jan. 18.
