Japan’s appetite for foreign bonds weakened further, with the latest data showing an expanded net outflow. According to figures updated on 29 July 2026, Japan’s foreign bond buying indicator fell to -¥811.4 billion, from a previous level of -¥723.7 billion.
The move from -¥723.7 billion to -¥811.4 billion underscores a stronger net selling trend of overseas debt securities by Japanese investors. A deeper negative reading indicates that, over the measured period, residents offloaded more foreign bonds than they purchased, signaling a continued retreat from international fixed-income markets.
