Asian stocks see biggest monthly foreign outflows in 1 year


ASIAN equities witnessed massive foreign outflows in August, as risk sentiment was dented by worries over the longevity of the U.S. Federal Reserve's policy tightening cycle and a slowdown in the economic momentum of China.

Data from stock exchanges in India, Indonesia, the Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam showed that foreigners had offloaded a net $4.74 billion of equities in August, the biggest amount since September 2022.
