Foreign Investors Shed Japanese Assets Last Week

JAPAN

Net foreign selling of Japanese bonds and equities dominated within the latest round of weekly international security flow data, with foreign investors shedding exposure to Japanese assets in the wake of the well-documented tweaks to BoJ monetary policy (and also ahead of the end of the Japanese FY). The metrics both experienced multi-month highs in terms of net sales.
