Svmuu News: Last month, Japanese investors sold the largest amount of overseas bonds since 2024, and market observers are closely monitoring capital flows for signs of capital repatriation triggered by rising domestic yields in Japan. According to preliminary weekly data released by Japan’s Ministry of Finance on Thursday, Japanese investors recorded a net sale of 3.42 trillion yen in overseas bonds in February. According to another balance of payments report, this marks the largest monthly sale since October 2024. Most of the selling occurred during the week ending February 20. Ayako Sera, a senior market strategist at Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank in Tokyo, said that as falling Japanese government bond prices have forced life insurers to book impairment losses, they may be adjusting their overall profits by selling foreign bonds, and demand for foreign bonds may have slowed given rising domestic yields.
