Foreigners, however, remained net sellers of Malaysian equities, leaving their ownership of Malaysian equities at a record low of 20.7% of total market capitalisation in January (December: 20.7%; January 2020: 22.4%).
PETALING JAYA: Malaysia saw net foreign portfolio inflows at RM2.8bil in January, mainly into bonds, but this was slightly lower than the RM3bil recorded last December, according to UOB Global Economics and Markets Research.
The inflows were mainly led by net foreign buying of the country’s debt securities (January’s RM3.7bil versus December’s RM3.6bil), while foreigners remained net sellers of domestic equities (January’s -RM0.8bil versus December’s -RM0.6bil), according to UOB Global Economics and Markets Research.
