JAPAN: The latest round of Japanese weekly international security flows data saw

Japanese investors flip back to net buyers of foreign bonds, after they dumped

with the 4-week rolling sum of the metric tending back towards Y2tn, after

falling to ~Y690bn last week.

- Elsewhere, Japanese investors sold foreign bonds for the second week in four,

pushing the 4-week rolling sum of the measure into negative (selling) territory,

for the first time since early March.

- Foreigners remained net buyers of Japanese bonds for the third consecutive

week.

- Foreigners also remained net buyers of Japanese equities for a third

consecutive week, pushing the 4-week rolling sum of the measure into positive

territory for the first time since late November 2018.
