U.S. Treasurys have seen a sharp selloff in recent weeks, which sparked speculations of the parties selling them.
Preliminary data released by Japan’s finance ministry and parsed by Moody’s Analytics suggests that Japanese investors sold some foreign bonds, likely Treasuries, but not at a scale that would be large enough to explain the yield spike, the analytics firm wrote in a note.
“Weekly statistics on international securities flows show major Japanese investors were net sellers of foreign long-term bonds—most of which are likely U.S. Treasuries—between 30 March and 12 April,” said Stefan Angrick, Moody’s Analytics’ head of Japan and frontier markets economics.
“Net sales totaled ¥3.1 trillion, or around $21 billion, driven by a mix of lighter buying and some increased selling. Not nothing—but hardly enough to explain the yield spike,” Angrick added.
