The latest round of weekly international security flow data from the Japanese MoF revealed that Japanese investors were net sellers of both foreign equites and bonds for a second straight week. This came as U.S. yields nudged higher during the week, while U.S. equities softened.
- Note that the level of net weekly sales of foreign equities has only been surpassed on one occasion on record, the weekly record of net sales observed back in ’20.
- Meanwhile, international investors were net buyers of both Japanese equities and bonds, although net flows were somewhat limited in size terms.
