The latest round of weekly Japanese...........>

JAPAN: The latest round of weekly Japanese international security flow data

showed that Japanese investors turned net sellers of foreign bonds for the first

time in 3-weeks, although it was only at the margin, so this didn't stop the

4-week rolling sum of the measure from pushing further into positive territory.

Japanese investors also logged a third consecutive week of net buying of foreign

stocks.

- Foreigners flipped to net buying of Japanese bonds allowing the 4-week rolling

sum of the measure to push further into positive territory. They were also net

sellers of Japanese equities for a second consecutive week, with the 4-week

rolling sum of the measure moving below Y100bn. The 4-week rolling sum of

international flows for Japanese equities was last in negative territory i.e.

selling, in early April.
