10-Yr JGB Yield Hits More Than 9-Yr Low
TOKYO (NQN)--The yield on newly issued 10-year Japanese government bonds stood at 0.730% on Monday morning, down 0.015% from Friday and its lowest level since June 27, 2003.
Rekindled fears about Europe's debt crisis are causing the flow of money into JGBs as a safe asset.
The Nikkei Stock Average's weak performance also provided a buying incentive.
