TOKYO, Nov. 17 (AP) - (Kyodo)—The yield on the benchmark 10-year Japanese government bond fell Tuesday morning to a one-month intraday low, on lower U.S. long- term interest rates after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke signaled the ultra-easy credit policy will continue.

The yield on the No. 303, 1.4 percent issue, a key indicator of long- term interest rates, ended morning interdealer trading down 0.030 percentage point from Monday's close to 1.300 percent.

The price of the key December futures contract for 10-year bonds gained 0.37 point to 139.23 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
