Offshore Investors Sold Local Bonds Ahead Of The BoJ Meeting

JAPAN DATA

In the week ending Oct 27, offshore outflows from Japan local bonds were the main theme in terms of the weekly investment flow update. We had a further -¥1672.7bn in outflows. This was the largest since mid September. Since that period, we have seen nearly -¥4300bn in outflows from this segment. Last week's outflow of course came ahead of this week's BoJ meeting. Foreign inflows into local Japan equities were positive, but only just and well off the earlier Oct pace.

  • In terms of Japan outbound flows, we had resumed buying of foreign bonds, but it was a moderate ¥238.5bn. This offset last week's selling. In the equity space, we saw ¥311.4bn in purchases, which marked the 5th straight week of buying for this segment.
