Japan's Government Notes Fall on Speculation Traders to Hedge Before Sale

(Bloomberg) -- Japan's notes dropped on speculation
traders will sell the securities to protect against potential

Brokers bidding at the auction may reduce holdings in case
prices drop before they can pass on the 2 trillion yen ($16
billion) in new debt to investors. Japan's government bonds also
fell as comments by officials in the U.S. and Japan spurred
concern that global inflation may rise.
