PETALING JAYA: The lower volatility in the Malaysian bond market compared to regional bond markets, has set the stage for stronger demand for ringgit bonds in the short term amid rising tensions in the Middle East.
Principal Asset Management chief investment officer for Asean fixed income, Jesse Liew, told StarBiz the Malaysian bond market has attracted interests from both institutional and retail investors, owing to its lower volatility compared with counterparts, notably United States treasuries.
