BUZZ-Japanese buy some foreign assets, foreigners Japan stocks

Japan MOF flow data for week-ended Jan 25 show flows off significantly

Especially so for Japanese investors with foreign asset buys lukewarm

Net Y217.2 bln foreign stocks, Y178.0 bln bonds, Y119.2 bln bills bought

All of relatively large from buys seen the previous week

No doubt slew of upcoming central bank policy announcements had an impact

On other side of ledger, foreign investors good buyers of Japanese stocks

Net Y753.0 bln Japanese stocks bought, bargain-hunting?

Net Y127.2 bln and Y481.3 bln JGBs and Japanese bills bought too

Move to net buys may have taken post-BOJ hike, on view of BOJ hold for now
