Foreign investors buy ¥1.13tn of Japanese stocks in week to Oct 30

Two consecutive weeks of net foreign buying, even as the weekly total eases, points to a persistent rather than one-off bid for Japanese equities from overseas accounts. The modest slowdown matters less than the direction: sustained foreign flows can shape liquidity and sentiment in a market where domestic participation has been uneven. The key question is whether this buying streak extends into a third week, or whether the deceleration is the first sign of fading conviction.
