Foreigners Sell Most Net Japan Stocks, Futures Since November

Overseas investors sold the most Japanese stock futures and cash equities since November last week on a net basis, part of a broad risk-off move following the outbreak of the Iran war.

Foreigners offloaded around ¥983.5 billion in Japan equity futures in the week beginning March 2, bringing net selling of futures and stocks combined to around ¥745.7 billion, the most in four months, according to data from Japan Exchange Group.
