Margin Trading in Japan Falls as Foreigners Buy Amid Rebound

Margin trading in Japanese stocks has significantly decreased following a market downturn. Trading using borrowed money fell sharply last week as investors were compelled to sell off stocks during a decline in the Nikkei index. Margin trading, which accounts for about 70% of retail trading value, was down by 908 billion Yen, representing a 19% week-on-week decrease as of August 9. Despite the downturn, foreign investors have shown renewed interest, heavily purchasing Japanese stocks in the week leading up to August 10. This buying activity was driven by policymakers' efforts to stabilize the market after recent volatility.
