0036 GMT - The JGB yield curve steepens slightly in early Tokyo trade, tracking Friday's steepening of the U.S. Treasury yield curve. Both JGBs and Treasurys tend to move in tandem. Also, this morning's 1st preliminary data indicating slower-than-expected 2Q real GDP growth in Japan may diminish likelihood of a BOJ rate hike next month, which could limit rises in shorter-term yields, while long-term yields advance on lingering concerns over Japan's fiscal spending. The two-year JGB yield is up 1.5 bps at 1.665%, while 30-year yield is up 2 bps at 4.030%.
