JAPAN
The latest round of weekly Japanese international security flow data revealed net sales across all 4 of the major headline metrics, with bond flows stealing the headlines.
- Japanese net sales of foreign bonds saw a marginal downtick last week, which of course included the period of notable pressure in U.S. Tsys/global core FI, and came on the back of the previous week's multi year highs in terms of net sales.
- Elsewhere, foreign investors shed a notable amount of Japanese bonds. As a reminder, the week also saw JGB futures soften, with suggestions that CTA accounts were a driver of the move.
