Yoshihiro Gake Percent Quotations

Yields near 1.6 percent look attractive for buyers. Concern about GM prompted some flight-to-quality buying in Japanese bonds.

There's good demand among investors at five-year yields near 0.7 percent and 10-year yields near 1.4 percent. Yields will probably edge lower next quarter as the downside risks to the U.S. economy may materialize, threatening Japan's recovery.
