Foreign Capital Inflows Into Japanese Stocks Reach Record High in First Half of 2026
Foreign capital inflows into Japan increased during the first half of 2026, with investors funneling a net 9.7 trillion yen in Japanese stocks during the period, Nikkei Asia reported Friday, citing Tokyo Stock Exchange data. The net inflows were about quadruple that of the first half of 2025, and around double the 5.4 trillion yen total for all of 2025. It also surpassed the previous half-year record high of 8.3 trillion yen in 2013, the report said. Investors mostly soaked up artificial intelligence-related stocks, with data-center-related sectors also a hot pick.
