JAPAN: Japanese investors were net sellers of foreign bonds and stocks in the

most recent week, but the sizes were quite limited (Y164bn and Y106bn

respectively).

- The real story came on the other side of the ledger, with foreign investors

selling a net Y3.1486tn worth of Japanese bonds, the largest amount of weekly

net selling on record (going back to 2001). This pushed the 4-week rolling sum

of the measure well into negative territory, with that particular metric now

reflecting the deepest amount of net selling seen since Oct 2018.

- Japanese investors also sold Y1.1778tn worth of Japanese equities, the largest

round of weekly net selling seen since March, pushing the 4 week rolling sum of

that metric further into negative territory.
