TOKYO, Nov 2 (Reuters) - Japanese Finance Minister Hirohisa Fujii said on Monday he was watching bond market moves "very carefully".

Fujii made the remark at a lower house budget committee meeting when asked by an opposition lawmaker about recent rises in bond yields and whether he thought they were due to market worries on the oversupply of bonds. (Reporting by Leika Kihara)
