0931 ET - Japanese investors still seek foreign investments, despite Tokyo's announced plans to redirect flows to domestic markets, Goldman Sachs economists say in a note. A Ministry of Finance report "suggests continued net purchases of foreign bonds at a sizable pace in July," Goldman says. "It may take some time to implement such a policy shift, so it feels too early to rule out. But so far, our skepticism on the low likelihood of unhedged repatriation flows due to better return prospects abroad looks fair." Goldman Sachs says a BoJ hike next month would help bring long-term strength to the yen. The yen weakens 0.7% versus the dollar, following the recent intervention.
