Offshore Sell Both Local Equities & Bonds

JAPAN DATA

Offshore appetite for Japan stocks continued to wane last week. We saw -¥603.8bn yen in outflows from local stocks, building on the prior week's -¥740.8bn in outflows. August saw -¥1178.2bn in outflows. This somewhat reverses the positive trend seen through April to July. Offshore flows to local bonds were negative as well, -¥551.5bn yen, albeit only partially unwinding the prior week's inflow. Still, offshore investors have sold local bonds in 6 out of the last 7 weeks.

  • In terms of Japan outbound flows, local investors bought offshore bonds, +¥425.1bn, reversing the sale trend seen in the prior 2 weeks. Japan investors sold foreign stocks though, -¥218.5bn, although trends have been moderate in this segment in recent weeks.
