German Sovereign Bonds See Largest Japanese Selloff Since 2014
Japanese investors sold the largest amount of German sovereign bonds in a decade in April, the month after fiscal concerns spurred a selloff of the European nation's debt.
Net sales totaled ¥1.48 trillion ($10.2 billion), the most since 2014, the latest balance-of-payments data from the Asian nation's Ministry of Finance showed on Monday. That was also the largest among the 12 sovereign bond markets tracked by the ministry, referring to debt securities issued by governments, their agencies and local authorities.
