Japanese investors net sold foreign stocks and bonds for a third straight month in December, wary of rising U.S. bond yields, while some also booked profits amid sharp fluctuations in the yen.

The investors sold overseas equities worth a net 310.7 billion yen ($1.97 billion) following net disposals of 1.22 trillion yen, a month ago, according to data from Japan's Ministry of Finance. They also ditched 1.22 trillion yen worth of bonds, the most since October, 2024.
