Japan Foreign investment in Japan stocks down to ¥471.9B in Feb 15 from ¥1121.9B

As Mansoor Mohi-uddin, Head of FX Strategy at UBS Macro Research notes, in a broad trade-weighted basis, the USD remains near its all-time lows, suggesting that "dollar bulls - looking for a multi-year greenback rally like those of 1978-1985 and 1995-2002 - anticipating the Federal Reserve will start scaling back its quantitative easing this year, appears the most likely trigger for a broader dollar recovery in 2013."
