Foreigners Buy ¥585.7B in Japanese Bonds in Week to Oct 2

The swing back to net buying after a sizeable outflow suggests the prior week's selling was tactical rather than a repricing of Japanese duration risk. What matters is whether this reflects genuine demand from overseas accounts or simply the reversal of a short-lived position unwind, since a single week's flow is a weak signal on its own. The composition of that buying, and whether it persists, is the open question.
