Downside pressure resumed in JGB futures on the back of the inflationary pressures evident in the recent US PPI and CPI data and as markets settle after the BoJ rate hike. For now, the trend structure remains bearish and the latest downleg resulted in the contract piercing support at 125.91, the Aug 17 low. This move lower confirms a continuation of the primary downtrend. Key near-term resistance is 128.42, the Jun 15 high. Clearance of this hurdle is required to signal a short-term reversal.

• US tsys finished Friday's session showing a bear-flattener, with benchmark yields 1-4bps higher despite a knee-jerk rally following lower than expected Sep job gains (29k sa, vs. cons 81k along with a two-month downward revision of -60k, which reflected a more realistic seasonal factor for Aug plus some genuine softening back in July).
• Private payrolls told a better story, rising 46k (sa, cons 81k) as the government surprisingly dragged -17k, but as we noted after the release it was also accompanied by a heavier two-month downward revision of -81k.
