Foreign investors sold a net 515.41 billion yen in derivative contracts for a third consecutive week of net sales. They also divested about 552.43 billion yen in cash equities.

In the debt market, cross-border investors continued to be net sellers of Japanese bonds for the eighth consecutive week, finance ministry data showed. Foreign investors unloaded short-term Japanese bonds worth 953.5 billion yen, for an eighth straight week of net sales.
