Covid-19 cases affect demand for Malaysian bonds


KUALA LUMPUR: Foreign investors turned net sellers of Malaysian bonds in June, resulting in a net foreign outflow of RM497.1mil.

This effectively ended a 13-month streak of net foreign inflows, with falling demand observed since May. Shorter-tenured Bank Negara securities and Malaysian Treasury Bills (MTB)/Malaysian Islamic Treasury Bills (MITB) accounted for the bulk of the June sell-off, totalling RM1.2bil.
