Australia–JGB 10Y Spread

The Australia–JGB 10Y Spread is the Australian 10-year government-bond yield minus the Japanese 10-year government-bond (JGB) yield. It represents the carry-funding differential, as the Japanese yen is a primary global funding currency. A wider spread makes Australia a more attractive target for yen-carry trades, while a narrowing spread or a Bank of Japan tightening move can trigger carry unwinds.
