日銀が国債買い入れ減額　マイナス金利解除後で初

　日銀は１３日午前の定例公開市場操作（オペレーション）で、国債の買い入れ額を前回と比べ５００億円減の４２５０億円とした。３月のマイナス金利政策の解除後、減額は初めて。今後、日銀が保有する国債の償還ペースは、新規買い入れを上回る見込みで、事実上の量的引き締め局面が視野に入った。
　買い入れを減額したのは、償還までの残りの期間が５年超１０年以下の国債。従来は４７５０億円だった。
　減額を受けて金融市場では円買い・ドル売り、債券売りが進んだ。長期金利の指標となる新発１０年物国債（第３７４回債）の流通利回りは上昇（債券価格は低下）し、一時０．９４０％を付けた。昨年１１月以来、約半年ぶりの高水準。（2024/05/13-13:18）

The Bank of Japan on Monday announced a reduction of its outright purchases of Japanese government bonds for the first time since it lifted its negative interest rate policy in March.
   The central bank offered to buy 425 billion yen in JGBs with maturities of more than five years to up to 10 years on Tuesday, down 50 billion yen from the previous such operation.
   The amount of BOJ-held JGBs to be redeemed is therefore expected to exceed that of new purchases, meaning that the bank will effectively start quantitative monetary tightening.
   The announcement triggered dollar selling for yen and JGB selling on financial markets in Tokyo.
   The yield on the newest 374th issue of 10-year JGBs, a key long-term interest rate, rose as high as 0.940 pct, the highest level for a benchmark yield since Nov. 1, 2023, up from 0.900 pct late Friday.
