Shun Totani

Treasuries are very cheap now. We are looking for opportunities to buy.

Yoshihiro Ishida

But if he makes remarks that are more hawkish than the market is expecting to hear, US Treasuries may be sold heavily and that may hurt the JGB market.

Masayuki Yoshihara

Yoshitaka Majima

Treasuries are a safe haven and obviously a place where oil producing countries could place money.

With the Fed expected to raise rates one or two more times and the economy doing well, we cannot recommend buying Treasuries. We would place short positions.

Yasutoshi Nagai

Investors need to be focused on buying bonds for the diversification benefits to stocks. If you are worried about a stock market correction, you should have some bonds for the steady income they provide. It's true that 30-year Treasuries are coming down, because of supply and demand concerns, but there are plenty of alternatives for individual investors.

Mario Derose

Over the short term Treasuries yields will head higher and prices lower based on the fact that economic damage from this hurricane is not as great as the worst fears had priced in.

Hiroki Shimazu

Treasuries are attractive at these levels. They are getting closer to levels that we will be interested in buying.

If we sell large quantities of U.S. treasuries, it would cause the price to plunge. We're not going to do that.

Ma Delun

We cannot rule out that the Fed won't raise rates in June if the economy is still strong. We still don't want to buy Treasuries yet.

Shun Totani

Ten-year Treasuries are very close to the yield level at which we plan to buy. We prefer the 10-year notes to shorter-term Treasuries because inflation is less of a concern compared to rising interest rates.

Satoshi Asai

The comments suggest there's scope for further hiking and it will be data driven. We've seen quite a sell off in Treasuries.

Marius Daheim

It's not a good time to hold 10-year Treasuries. The economy is holding together well. It would not surprise me if we get a hike in every meeting up to January.

Michael Thomas

The likelihood of faster inflation means we have to be very cautious about holding Treasuries.

If figures in the jobs data are stronger than expected, 10-year treasuries could rise to 5 percent with sentiment already weak.

Hiroki Shimazu

US Treasuries, particularly long-term bonds, were robust on Friday, when the Japanese market was closed. Some bond investors view the surge in stocks as bubble while some investors take comfort in the view that the zero-interest rate policy will continue even after the Bank of Japan lifts ultra-loose monetary stance.

Naomi Hasegawa

The drop-off in Treasuries can't be ignored. That is contributing to weaker sentiment in Japanese bonds.

Hiroaki Takai

There's a good chance the Fed will raise tomorrow and change their language to indicate rates are on hold until we get clearer signs from the economic data. We could get a little rally in Treasuries.

John Maskell

I don't want to get overly bearish. But we're getting a ton of supply, and not just Treasuries.

Ted Ake

Treasuries are near the levels where investors think they offer value. Core inflation looks calm, so rising oil prices are primarily a threat to growth as they are like a tax hike for consumers.

Masayuki Yoshihara

The market is moderating its inflation expectations. It's a good time to get into U.S. Treasuries.

Peter Schiff

Even as the Fed is expected to raise rates tomorrow, it also means they are one step closer to the end of rate hikes and that is making Treasuries attractive to investors. We are looking for opportunities to buy Treasuries around yields of 4.75 percent.

Tadashi Tsukaguchi

Treasuries can still fall some more. Some people are worried about the outlook for inflation because of the rise in energy prices.

Masatsugu Yamamoto

This is a chance to buy and we are increasing our exposure. Inflation is under control and that makes Treasuries even more attractive. We bought this week.

Masayuki Senda

We're not interested in Treasuries because the Fed will probably raise rates two more times this quarter. That means yields have room to rise from here, which is why we are staying away for now.

Masayuki Senda

The U.S. economy is doing okay and you have global growth doing fairly well. That's encouraging yields higher. A 5 percent yield in 10-year Treasuries represents fair value.

Grant Hassell

We are planning to buy Treasuries and the consumer price report reinforced our views that U.S. notes will rally. With the Fed likely to raise rates again, that will keep inflation well contained.

Satoshi Asai

We are seeing inflationary pressures in labor costs and energy prices and there is a possibility of the Fed raising rates three more times this year. With that scenario in mind, there's no way we would be investing in Treasuries at this time.

Takashi Yamamoto

There were rumors China may revalue its currency in March. Based on that rumor, people are assuming China may buy fewer Treasuries. And then the market broke certain support levels.

Frank Hsu

Inflation is still a threat when U.S. economic growth is relatively strong. It will weigh down Treasuries.

We don't see the Fed stopping before the second half of 2006. We are recommending investors sell Treasuries before yields move even higher.

If Japanese investors buy U.S. Treasuries, then they have to buy the dollar as well. The market expects flows out of Japan during this week and the whole month, and that may support the dollar.

Antje Praefcke

I am still a little bit bearish. The market thinks the U.S. economy is strong. Treasuries are still not attractive because the Fed will raise rates on March 28 and maybe again in May.

Hiroyuki Yamada

The U.S. Treasury market will outperform their European counterparts. The yield spread is making Treasuries more attractive.

Akira Takei

Investors may find it difficult to buy Treasuries as future monetary policy is data dependent. The inflation risk remains alive and the indicators ahead will probably support the view that economic growth is continuing.

Toshihiko Sakai

Any possible move out of Treasuries by the Chinese will lead to a weaker dollar. They're saying they're trying to diversify out of dollars and limit any fresh holdings of dollars. That's going to be bad for the U.S. currency over the long term.

Jan Lambregts

As the Nikkei moves up in price, it signifies growth in the Japanese economy, ... That will signal higher yields in Japan, which will make them at the margin less net buyers of U.S. Treasuries.

James Caron

With the economy doing very well, the risks of the Fed hiking rates are even higher. We have no interest in buying Treasuries. It is not the right time.

Takashi Yamamoto

We are pretty bullish on Treasuries. Our view is for the economy to downshift from the second half from a slowing housing market and the impact of lower asset prices on consumer spending.

Thomas Lam

The economy is doing well and with more rate hikes anticipated, we don't see good demand at the auctions. We remain bearish on Treasuries.

Yasutoshi Nagai

The market is coming round to the view that we're going to get a second rate increase after today's as growth will probably be quite robust over the next few months. Treasuries have weakened and it's likely they'll push a bit lower.

Michael Derks

We've got a lot of supply so that's putting Treasuries onto a bearish footing. People aren't expecting a good result from the auction and in the short term yields can push higher.

Christoph Rieger

Five-year Treasuries should continue to attract buyers. We can expect the auction to go well, and the market to rally further.

Cyril Beuzit

These [are] secret negotiations by essentially a bunch of politically ambitious attorneys general, ... They want their cases to reimburse the treasuries of Florida and other states.

Stanley Rosenblatt

One reason we are seeing some volatility is that there are nervous bond investors who own Treasuries.

Anton Pil

We are still cautious about Treasuries because global interest rates are rising. I'll wait before buying because yields will keep going up in the short term.

Tadashi Tsukaguchi

Japanese investors are buying the dollar to purchase overseas assets, such as Treasuries.
