Foreign investors sell ¥105.2B in Japanese stocks in week to Nov 6

The scale of the swing matters more than the direction: a week of heavy net buying followed by a comparatively modest net sale suggests overseas demand cooled rather than collapsed, leaving the prior week's inflow largely intact. For Japanese equities, the signal is that foreign positioning is turning choppy rather than decisively bearish. Whether this is a one-week pause or the start of a sustained pullback is the open question, and the next weekly flow print will carry outsized weight given how thin the data is.
