Share Print 0

The yield on the benchmark 10-year Japanese government bond finished higher Friday on selling prompted by firmer Tokyo stocks.

The yield on the No. 329, 0.8 percent issue, the main yardstick of long-term interest rates, ended interdealer trading at 0.760 percent, up 0.015 percentage point from Thursday’s close.

The price of the September futures contract for 10-year bonds declined 0.22 point to 143.71 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
