Japanese Investors Retreat, Foreigners Buy Japanese Assets

Japanese investors pulled back significantly from foreign stocks and bonds, selling off a net $3.85 billion in foreign stocks and $1.14 trillion in short-term debt instruments. This move comes after hawkish comments from U.S. Federal Reserve officials, suggesting interest rates might not be cut soon. Meanwhile, foreign investors showed strong interest in Japanese markets, buying $69.1 billion worth of local shares and $1.83 trillion worth of Japanese short-term debt instruments. This shift in investment strategies highlights a contrasting view on market opportunities between domestic and international players.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered.
