Decent Enough Buying Of Foreign Bonds Last Week

JAPAN

The most notable round of flows in the latest weekly Japanese international security flow data saw Japanese investors record a chunky round of net foreign bond purchases, which were likely FX-hedged (as per recent lifer comments). We flagged the potential for such a move earlier this week, given the dynamic surrounding U.S. 10—Year FX-hedged yield levels for Japanese investors.

  • Elsewhere, the latest week saw foreign investors revert to net purchases of both Japanese bonds and equities.
