&nbsp;Japanese investors made large-scale withdrawals from the overseas bond market in February, reaching the highest level in 16 months, as the decline in U.S. Treasury yields and the rise in Japanese bond yields made local bonds more attractive. Data from the Japanese Ministry of Finance shows that last month Japanese investors net sold 3.07 trillion yen (19.37 billion USD) in overseas bonds, marking the largest single-month net sale since the net sale of 6.5 trillion yen in October 2024. Among them, Japanese investors sold 3.42 trillion yen worth of foreign long-term bonds, reaching a 16-month high, but at the same time net purchased about 352.1 billion yen of foreign short-term bonds. In February, Japanese investors net bought 642.1 billion yen of foreign stocks, marking the second consecutive month of net purchases. Barclays pointed out that this round of buying was mainly driven by demand related to Japan's individual savings accounts (NISA). NISA is a tax-exempt stock investment plan launched by the Japanese government, aimed at converting tens of trillions of yen in household cash into stock market investments. Another report from the Bank of Japan shows that in January Japanese investors net purchased 279.4 billion yen in U.S. Treasury bonds and 660.96 billion yen in European bonds.
