TOKYO, Jan 4 (Reuters) - The benchmark 10-year Japanese government bond yield hit a seven-week high on Monday, as JGBs retreated in the face of firm Tokyo share prices and a rise in U.S. Treasury yields late last week.
The 10-year JGB yield rose 3 basis points on the day to 1.315 percent, its highest since mid-November.
