TOKYO, June 5 (Reuters) - Japan's 30-year government bond prices rose after the weakest auction of the securities in more than a year added to pressure on the Ministry of Finance to reduce supply of super-long notes.
The bid-to-cover ratio, a measure of demand that gauges the number of bids against the amount of securities on offer, fell to 2.921, the worst since December 2023, and was down from 3.074 at the prior sale in May.
