TOKYO, Aug 10 (Reuters) - Japanese government bond (JGB)

yields rose on Monday as higher oil prices fuelled inflation

concerns, while investors weighed the likelihood of a Bank of

Japan interest-rate hike in September.

Here are a few details:

* The benchmark 10-year JGB yield rose 1.5

basis points (bps) to 2.810%. Yields move inversely to bond

prices.

* The two-year yield, most sensitive to BOJ's

policy, was up 1 bp at 1.615%, its highest level since May 1995.

* The five-year yield rose to as high as

2.09%, matching a record high marked last week, and was last up

1 bp to 2.085%.

* "Inflation fears grew after oil prices rose," said Miki

Den, senior Japan rate strategist at SMBC Nikko Securities.

* Oil prices rose, supported by uncertainty over the

reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, as Iran said a deal with Oman

defining new shipping lanes was in its final stages but insisted

the U.S. must still meet other conditions.

* The yen has given up some intervention-driven

gains, which also fuelled concerns about rising inflation, Den

added.

* The Japanese currency was last down 0.27% against the U.S.

dollar at 158.195.

* The BOJ's case for a September rate hike strengthened

after a growing chorus of policymakers argued for a more

forceful response to mounting inflation risks, a summary of

opinions at their July meeting showed on Monday.
