Japan's Ministry of Finance set the coupon on this month's 10-year JGB at 3.1%, the highest level since August 1996 and the first time the coupon has exceeded 3% in 30 years.

In Tuesday's auction the bid-cover ratio rose to 3.76 from 3.29 at the prior sale, and the highest accepted price reached a 30-year peak.
