International investors significantly increased their holdings in Japan equities during the week ending April 18, spurred by a surge in artificial intelligence sectors and easing geopolitical tensions. Data released by the Ministry of Finance on Thursday revealed that foreign buyers acquired a net 2.38 trillion yen ($14.92 billion) in Japanese stocks, following a historic 3.94 trillion yen net purchase the previous week. This sustained interest reflects a broader recovery in risk sentiment as global markets responded to diplomatic developments involving the United States and Iran.
