Local Investors Dump Offshore Bonds

JAPAN DATA

Japan weekly investment flows saw offshore investors retreat once again from local equities. There was -¥990.6bn in fresh outflows. This was the 2nd consecutive week of outflows after last week ended a 9 week run of inflows. Offshore investors returned to buying local bonds (+¥621.6bn), although this wasn't enough to offset last week's outflow. Since the start of Nov though, net inflows into this space have been positive.

  • In terms of Japan outbound flows, local investors were heavy net sellers of offshore bonds (-¥1080bn). This was the largest weekly outflow since Oct last year.
  • Local investors also sold offshore equities for the 3rd straight week (-¥500.8bn).
