KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 7 (Bernama) -- Local institutions extended their net buying streak on Bursa Malaysia to six consecutive weeks, recording net inflows of RM120.3 million last week, according to MBSB Investment Bank Bhd (MBSB IB).
In its weekly Fund Flow Report for the week ended Sept 4, 2026, the investment bank said average daily trading volume saw a broad-based decrease, with retailers down 10.8 per cent, local institutions by 9.4 per cent, and foreign institutions by 30.5 per cent.
“Meanwhile, retailers extended their net buying streak to two consecutive weeks, recording RM520 million in net inflows,” it said.
It said foreign institutions extended their net selling streak to fifth consecutive weeks on Bursa Malaysia, recording RM640.3 million in net outflows last week.
“This came during a shortened trading week, with the market closed on Monday (Aug 31) in conjunction with Malaysia’s National Day.
“Foreign institutions were net sellers on all five trading days during the week. The highest outflows were recorded on Tuesday with RM488.4 million, followed by Thursday (RM74.6 million), Wednesday (RM56.8 million) and Friday (RM20.5 million),” it said.
MBSB IB said the top three sectors to record net inflows from foreign institutions were plantation with RM138.2 million, followed by transportation and logistics (RM81.4 million), and energy (RM40.3 million).

Across the eight Asian markets MBSB IB monitors, foreign investors extended their net selling streak to two consecutive weeks, recording US$4.88 billion in net outflows last week.
“Net outflows were led mainly by Taiwan, followed by South Korea, India, Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines.
“Meanwhile, Indonesia and Thailand were the only markets to record net foreign inflows, though these were insufficient to offset the region’s overall net selling,” MBSB IB added.
