Bank of Japan’s yield targeting suppresses speculation in JGB futures
The Bank of Japan's (BoJ) aggressive market operations to defend its policy band for yields has not only sapped liquidity in the government bond market but also drastically limited the scope for speculation in bond futures, reported Reuters.
Key findings
A surprise adjustment to BOJ policy in December was supposed to improve the operation of the market but hardly did so. In that move, the central bank widened the band in which 10-year Japanese Government Bond (JGB) yields could move 50 basis points either side of zero from 25 basis points.
The move only heightened market speculation that the BOJ would further loosen or abandon its yield-control policy (Yield Curve Control – YCC), forcing it to buy even more bonds to defend its new upper limit.
Traders say betting on such policy change through futures has now become prohibitively expensive.
They cannot profitably short-sell the nearest three-month futures contract, maturing in March, because the BOJ owns most of the so-called cheapest-to-deliver bonds that the futures contract is pegged to.
The spread between futures maturing in March and June stood at 1.30 yen on Monday, after widening to much as 2.34 yen on Jan. 23, the biggest gap since Sept. 1999. In early December it was 0.6 yen.

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
