This indicator measures the net value of domestic stocks purchased by non-resident investors within a specific period, typically focusing on the Japanese market. It serves as a vital gauge of international investor sentiment and capital flows into the country's equity markets. High positive figures indicate strong foreign demand and confidence in the local corporate sector, while negative figures suggest capital flight or profit-taking by global investors.
The data is calculated by subtracting the total value of stocks sold by foreign investors from the total value of stocks purchased by them during the reporting week.
