JAPAN DATA: Offshore Investors Continue To Buy Local Stocks

JAPAN DATA
APACJapanData BulletBulletGlobalFixed Income BulletsForeign Exchange BulletsRegionMarkets

Japan's weekly investment flow update saw offshore buying continue of local stocks. This marked the seventh straight week of net buying in this space. Still since early August, cumulative flows remain negative to the tune of nearly -¥4trln. Price action in Japan equities has been range bound, with the Nikkei largely stuck in a 38000-40000 range in recent weeks. 

  • In terms of bonds, offshore investors sold local bonds for the second straight week, but aggregate amounts have been fairly modest in the past month for this segment.
  • After last week's record net selling of offshore bonds by local investors, we saw some net buying flows return. This only modestly offsets the prior week's outflows though. Since late Oct we have seen a net selling trend persist most weeks.
  • Local investors also sold offshore equities for the fifth straight week, bringing cumulative net selling to -¥3trln over this period.
