TOKYO: Yields on Japanese government bonds (JGBs) were little changed on Monday as traders stuck to the sidelines due to a dearth of bond auctions before year-end holidays.

The 10-year JGB yield was flat at 0.015%. The 20-year JGB yield was flat at 0.395%.
At the long end of the curve, the 30-year JGB yield rose 0.5 basis point to 0.640%, but the 40-year JGB yield was flat at 0.675%.
The five-year yield was flat at minus 0.115%.
At the short end of the curve, the two-year JGB yield held steady at minus 0.130%.
