FX.co ★ Foreign Investors Flock Back to Japanese Equities as Flows Swing to ¥2.96 Trillion Inflows

Foreign investors have sharply reversed course on Japanese equities, shifting from heavy outflows to substantial inflows, according to the latest data updated on 08 April 2026. The indicator for foreign investments in Japanese stocks has moved from a previous level of -¥4,448.1 billion to a current figure of +¥2,959.6 billion.

The swing of more than ¥7 trillion in net flows underscores a significant turnaround in overseas appetite for Japan’s stock market. While the earlier negative reading reflected strong foreign selling pressure, the latest positive figure suggests renewed confidence in Japanese assets and a notable return of foreign capital to the country’s equity markets.
