The latest round of weekly Japanese international security flow data revealed the largest ever round of net sales of Japanese bonds by foreign investors (based on records going back to 2001) as the market tested the BoJ’s resolve when it comes to the upper boundary of its permitted 10-Year JGB yield trading band. Foreign investors shed a net Y4.8tn of Japanese paper during the week. Foreign investors were also net sellers of Japanese equities, running up the largest round of weekly net selling observed since March. Elsewhere, Japanese investors registered a fourth consecutive week of net sales of foreign bonds and marginal net purchases of foreign equities.
