TOKYO, Sept 19 (Reuters) -Japanese government bond (JGB) yields rose on Thursday, tracking their U.S. peers higher, after the Federal Reserve delivered a larger-than-usual reduction in interest rates at the conclusion of its two-day meeting.
The 10-year JGB yield JP10YTN=JBTC was up 3 basis points (bps) at 0.85%, after briefly hitting 0.855% following an overnight rise in U.S. Treasury yields.

At a press conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said the oversized cut was meant to show policymakers' commitment to sustaining a low unemployment rate now that inflation has eased.
Superlong-term JGB yields saw the biggest rise, with the 30-year JGB yield JP30YTN=JBTC leaping 7 bps to 2.055% after touching its lowest since Aug. 5 at 1.985% in the previous session.
The 20-year JGB yield JP20YTN=JBTC rose 3.5 bps to 1.67%, while the 40-year JGB yield JP40YTN=JBTC jumped 8 bps to 2.335%, its highest since Sept. 3.
The Bank of Japan will wrap up itstwo-day monetary policy on Friday where it is expected to stand pat, shifting attention to any signals about additional rate hikes.
Market participants will also be tuned into indications from the BOJ on the progress the economy is making, said Yurie Suzuki, a market analyst at Mizuho Securities.
The economic fundamentals "are currently looking quite robust, and even regarding inflation, there are strong areas when you look closely," Suzuki said.
Markets are weighing the chance of another small rate increase in December or January, with only a small probability priced in for next month.
Elsewhere on the curve, thefive-year yield JP5YTN=JBTC ticked 2 bps higher to 0.495%.
The two-year JGB yield JP2YTN=JBTC had yet to trade.
Benchmark 10-year JGB futures 2JGBv1 fell 0.23 points to 144.66 yen.
