Japan to consider trimming super-long bond issuance, sources say

TOKYO (Reuters) -Japan will consider trimming issuance of super-long bonds in the wake of recent sharp rises in yields for the notes, two sources told Reuters on Tuesday, as policymakers seek to soothe market concerns about worsening government finances. Super-long bond yields slumped on the report, pushing down the Japanese yen and U.S. Treasury yields along the way, as markets cheered Tokyo's readiness to arrest spikes in long-term interest rates. The Ministry of Finance (MOF) will consider tweaking the composition of its bond programme for the current fiscal year, which could involve cuts to its super-long bond issuance, said the sources who had direct knowledge of the plan.

FTSE futures were up sharply in Asia and Wall Street futures similarly pointed to a strong open, after the cash market was closed for a holiday in the previous session.
