Sun Jun 15, 2008 8:44pm EDT

TOKYO, June 16 (Reuters) - The benchmark 10-year Japanese government bond yield hit an 11-month high on Monday, as a rise in stocks and a slide in U.S. Treasuries late last week prompted investors to sell government debt. The 10-year yield rose 2.5 basis points to 1.890 percent JP10YTN=JBTC, its highest since July last year.
