Foreign Investors Sell Net Equities in Bursa Malaysia, Snapping Four-Week Streak of Net Inflows
Foreign investors were net sellers of Bursa Malaysia equities, selling net equities of RM93.1mil over the five-day trading week, with the consumer products and services, transport and logistics, and industrial products and services sectors seeing the leading net foreign outflows. Meanwhile, local institutions were net sellers for the third straight week, while local retailers remained net sellers of domestic equities for a significantly lower amount compared to the prior week. Despite this, there were increases in average daily trading volume among local retailers, local institutions, and foreign investors.
HSBC Global Research Forecasts 4% Rise in FBM KLCI on Trade Diversion Theme
HSBC Global Research projects that the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI will rise by about 4% this year to reach 1,510 points, thanks to trade diversion opportunities arising from the US-China. The bright spot for Malaysia's equity market lies in companies with exposure to the semiconductor sector, which are set to benefit from the growing distrust between the world's two largest economies. Additionally, Malaysia is among the emerging countries to benefit from the lower rates in developed markets this year, which may encourage more foreign fund flows into the region. HSBC Global Research expects Bank Negara Malaysia to keep the current overnight policy rate steady at 3.0% until end-2024, before a possible rate cut in the first quarter of 2025.
