Japanese investors raise foreign stock holdings for sixth week

Japanese investors increased their foreign stock holdings for a sixth consecutive week, investing a net 133.8 billion yen ($920.85 million), driven by easing U.S.-China trade tensions and a stronger yen. They also bought 435.2 billion yen in long-term foreign bonds. The MSCI World Index rose to a five-week high, while foreign inflows into Japanese equities and bonds slowed.
