Japan Bought Largest Net Round Of Foreign Bonds Since Nov ‘20 Last Week

JAPAN

Bond flows continue to dominate Japan's weekly international security flow data.

  • Japanese investors lodged the largest net round of weekly bond purchases seen since November '20 last week (Y1.7614tn), as most of the major benchmark core global FI metrics cheapened a little.
  • Elsewhere, foreign investors registered the third consecutive week of net purchases of Japanese bonds, with an uptick in purchase sizes vs. the previous week, although the level of net purchases didn't reach levels witnessed two weeks ago.
