Run Of Weekly Net Sales Of Japanese Bonds By Foreigners Comes To An End

JAPAN

The latest round of weekly international security flow data from Japan’s MoF revealed fairly limited net flows across the 4 major metrics. While there were some directional changes the limited size of the net flows observed did little to change the overarching flow picture. The only real point of note saw international investors end a streak of six straight weeks of net sales of Japanese bonds, as the test of the BoJ’s YCC settings eased up, although the net purchase lodged was incremental.
