Foreign investors were net sellers on all five trading days last week, with Monday seeing the highest net selling activity at RM244.0 million.

Regionally, foreign investors ended their two-week consecutive streak of net selling, recording US$915.2 million in net foreign inflows.

Among the markets tracked by MBSB, only India, South Korea, and Indonesia registered net foreign inflows, while the rest recorded net outflows, led by Taiwan, which posted the largest outflow in the region.

India extended a four-week consecutive streak of net foreign purchases, recording the region’s highest net foreign inflows at US$826.2 million.

Additionally, Indonesia saw its fourth consecutive week of net buying with foreign purchases of US$333.5 million, after the country introduced new rules allowing the central government to lend to local authorities and state-owned enterprises to finance development projects.
