0007 GMT - JGBs are mixed in price terms in the morning Tokyo session, but may be weighed by concerns over more BOJ rate increases. BOJ policy board member Takata on Wednesday struck a somewhat more hawkish tone, two Barclays's economists say in a research report. Takata's remarks were broadly in line with those he delivered at last September's speech, suggesting he continues to support gradual rate hikes, the economists add. Although Barclays continues to see the BOJ raising rates once per six months, its rate hikes could very well be front-loaded depending on the Trump administration's stance on JPY depreciation. The JGB 5-year yield is unchanged at 1.075%; 10-year yield is up 1 bps at 1.440%. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
