Heavy Selling Of Foreign Bonds In Most Recent Week

JAPAN

The standout round of flow in the weekly Japanese international security flow data came in the form of Japanese investors shedding the largest net amount of foreign bonds over a one-week period since August 2018. The data covers the period until February 19, so excludes the latest round of cheapening witnessed in global core bond markets and may have represented some caution ahead of the Japanese FY end (which falls at the end of March).
