Key Quotes
“The pace of the rise in UST yields has slowed and volatility has begun to decline, so lifer foreign bond purchases could pick up again. Furthermore, a drop in USD/JPY could trigger dip buying demand and enhance their interest in unhedged foreign bonds. Retail investors have also slowed foreign investment, while their risk sentiment was likely solid after the US election outcome.”
