Japanese Investors Extend Foreign Bond Selling; Japan Bond Yields Steady Ahead of BOJ Decision
Japanese investors have continued selling foreign long-term bonds for six consecutive weeks, though the pace slowed due to declining US Treasury yields. They increased purchases of short-term bills and foreign stocks, while overseas investors returned to Japanese equities. Meanwhile, Japanese government bond yields remained steady ahead of the Bank of Japan's upcoming policy decision, supported by strong demand at a two-year bond auction and gains in US Treasuries. Markets widely expect the BOJ to maintain current interest rates, with a possible hike anticipated in December.
