Japan Purchases Of Offshore Bonds Surges

JAPAN DATA

Offshore investors returned to Japan stocks last week, albeit only partially unwinding the outflows seen in the previous two weeks. We had ¥273.8bn in net inflows. Foreign purchases of local bonds rose to ¥971.5bn, which is the biggest weekly inflow since mid August.

  • The standout though was Japan buying of offshore bonds, which surged to ¥2286.1bn. This is the highest net weekly since the first part of September. It fits with post Fed price action in global fixed income markets last week. It also more than offset net sales from the prior week.
  • Japan investors sold offshore stocks for the fourth straight week (-¥437.5bn).
