Japan yields have moved off recent highs in the first part of June.
- In terms of domestic outflows, Japan investors purchased offshore bonds last week. The ¥1323bn in outflows more than offset last week's net sales, although the cumulative flow backdrop is negative for the past few months. Local investors sold offshore equities for the second straight week.
