Flash: Whats most popular? - Nomura

FXstreet.com (London) - Foreign Exchange Strategist at Nomura,Yujiro Goto, said Japanese retail investors were net buyers of foreign securities via toshins in September for the first time in two months.

“USD remains the most popular currency among retail investors, but a slowdown in AUD selling is worth noting”.

“We expect retail investors gradually to invest more in foreign assets via toshins. Japan’s version
of the individual saving account (NISA), which comes into effect in January, will boost momentum next year”.
