Overseas traders purchased a report quantity of Japanese equities and bonds in April, because the chaotic aftermath of Donald Trump’s “liberation day” tariffs made Tokyo a world haven for the “de-dollarisation” commerce.

Figures launched this week by the ministry of finance confirmed that final month, as excessive volatility gripped markets and the US greenback faltered, abroad traders had been internet consumers of Y8.2tn ($57bn) of Japanese securities. 

That marked the largest month-to-month rush for Japanese property since comparable data started in 2005 and was over 3 times greater than the 20-year common for April.

The unprecedented shopping for spree by overseas traders concerned $25.5bn internet purchases of equities, the largest quantity since April 2023, and $31.5bn of long run bonds, the biggest since July 2022. 

Merchants stated that the whole had in all probability been boosted by purchases of Japanese authorities bonds (JGBs) by the reserve managers of worldwide central banks.

Yujiro Goto, chief FX strategist at Nomura, stated that purchases of Japanese long-term debt “significantly exceeded” seasonal patterns and stood out for occurring in tandem with a rush into equities.

Abroad traders, he stated, could have been shifting US funds into Japan as a part of the “de-dollarisation” development and considered Japan as a logical alternative due to the scale and relative stability of its markets.

Mansoor Mohi-uddin, the chief economist of the Financial institution of Singapore, stated that April’s big “buy Japan” spree had taken place in opposition to a background of investor shock at US coverage shifts, commerce warfare and Trump’s criticism of US Federal Reserve chair Jay Powell.

“There is probably some truth to the idea that Japan was seeing the effects of de-dollarising in April,” stated Mohi-uddin. “It may be that we are seeing some movement by foreign central banks into JGBs. When they diversify they are looking for liquid markets, and for a reserve manager, Japan stands out in that regard.”
