Bond Flows Headline Within Weekly International Security Flow Data

JAPAN

There were several points of note in this week's international security flow data:

  • Japanese investors upped the pace of their net sales of foreign bonds from the previous week, although the level witnessed remained shy of weekly levels seen in both April & February of this year.
  • Foreign investors shed a relatively small net amount of Japanese bonds in the most recent week, after 2 weeks of decent net purchases.
  • The direction of net flows surrounding equities flipped on both sides of the ledger, although net flows remained limited.
