Benchmark 10-year JGB yield falls to record low

TOKYO, June 10 (Reuters) - The yield on the benchmark Japanese government bond fell to a record low on Friday, as bond prices took their cues from a rise in U.S. Treasuries in the previous session.

The 10-year JGB yield edged down 1 basis point to minus 0.140 percent.

On Thursday, U.S. Treasury yields fell to the lowest levels since February, as falling oil and stock prices increased demand for safe-haven debt amid concerns about global growth.
