U.S. Treasury Prices Regains Ground on Election Jitters
Increasing apprehension over the upcoming U.S. presidential election on November 8 triggered investors' flight to safety instincts and fueled the demand for safe-haven bonds, driving the prices of U.S. Treasuries higher following an earlier session of declines.
Improved manufacturing data from China caused an initial selloff in the bond market, causing yields on the 10-year Treasury notes to rise close to a five-month high. The positive economic data alleviated worries of a continuing slump in China' economy and elevated outlook for global growth.
However, anxiety over the result of the impending election caused investors to be more risk-averted, increasing the demand for government debt. The latest result of the ABC News/ Washington Post poll indicated that while vote preference had basically remained the same, Democrat Party nominee Clinton has lost her advantage for the first time since May, with GOP candidate Donald Trump narrowly taking the lead.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note closed at 1.822%, declining from a session peak of 1.877%. Yields on the two-year note fell by two basis points to 0.829% while the 30-year note lost 1.8 basis point to 2.571%.

Japan September Real Wages Edge Up as Consumer Prices Fall
Japan's real wages climbed for the eighth month in a row in September according to official data, propped-up by declining consumer prices as the economy exhibit meager signs of rising inflation.
Real wages, which are revised for inflation, climbed 0.9% year-on-year in September, growing faster than a revised 0.6% increase in the prior month. Meanwhile, nominal cash earnings climbed 0.2 in September from a year prior. Revised figures indicated that last month, nominal wages were flat year-on-year.
Separate data showed core consumer prices extended its seventh month of decline while spending among Japanese households slumped in September.
Special payments, including bonuses, dropped at an annual rate of 2.9% in September, compared to a 0.5% annual decline in the previous month. Overtime pay dropped 1.3% year-on-year in September. Regular pay, on the other hand, rose an annual 0.4%.
BOJ policymakers initially anticipated its bold monetary easing and massive fiscal spending to jumpstart economic growth, which would drive up real wages and stimulate inflation. On the contrary, consumer prices slowed down due to tepid growth, which consequentially drove up real wages but will not be beneficial to the economy.
