  • Offshore investors purchased local bonds last week, ended a modest run of outflows from the previous two weeks. Since the start of Oct we have had a ¥2.7trln in net inflows into this space. In terms of Japan outbound flows, local investors returned to net sellers of offshore bonds last week. We have seen net selling in this segment in 6 out of the last 8 weeks. Better US data outcomes and the incoming Trump Presidency have dented global bond returns.
