Foreigners are exiting Japanese assets and giving a signal of liquidity demand
The growing probability of a global economic slowdown has affected the lookout for liquidity. Foreign currencies left Japan's capital markets. Last week's outflow was the largest for three months.
On Thursday, the Ministry of Finance published preliminary data. Non-resident investors disposed of Japanese bonds and stocks. Their amount was the biggest withdrawal since mid-June. It totaled 4.04 trillion yen ($28 billion). Debt amounted to 2.86 trillion yen of sales.
A wave of aggressive tightening policies dampened momentum in September. Selling occurred after investors dropped everything from stocks to debt and commodities around the world. Investors will continue to look for ways to safely store cash because rates will continue rising.
