Foreigners Shed Largest Weekly Net Amount Of Japanese Equities Since Mar

There was little of any real note in terms of the outright size of net flows in the latest round of weekly Japanese international security flow data, outside of the net sales of Japanese equities on the part of foreign investors (which moved to the highest weekly level witnessed since March). This allowed the 4-week rolling sum of the measure to move back into negative territory after 3 consecutive weeks in positive territory.

• Elsewhere, a relatively large, but not atypical, weekly round of net sales of foreign bonds on the part of Japanese investors fell out of the 4-week sample period, which allowed the negative degree witnessed in the 4-week rolling sum of that measure to moderate.
