Hedge funds have increased their bearish bets on Japanese stocks, according to a recent report by Goldman Sachs. The report found that during the five-trading day week that ended on August 8, portfolio managers sold more Japanese stocks than they added to their short positions in four trading sessions, with only Tuesday being an exception. This trend is part of a broader market rout, as hedge funds globally have been betting against equities for four weeks running.
