TOKYO, Nov. 4 (AP) - (Kyodo)—The yield on the benchmark 10-year Japanese government bond rose Wednesday as investors sold to adjust positions ahead of a 10- year bond auction slated for Thursday.
The yield on the No. 304, 1.3 percent issue, a key indicator of long- term interest rates, ended interdealer trading up 0.025 percentage point from Monday's close to 1.400 percent. Japanese markets were closed Tuesday for a national holiday.
The price of the key December futures contract for 10-year bonds lost 0.31 point to 137.96 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
