Summary
¥3.12 trillion ($19.2 billion) of Japanese bonds was sold by overseas investors in June, marking the largest monthly outflow in three years.
Japan debt drew the heavy selling after underperforming most global bond peers, leaving foreign traders to pull back exposure.
Ministry of Finance weekly data through June 26 captured the June exodus, while separate monthly and balance-of-payments figures also showed it was the biggest withdrawal since January 2023.
