Question

Accepted Answer

Thursday Saw the Strongest Foreign Inflow Last Week

Last week, foreign investors registered their third consecutive week of net buying, with Malaysia experiencing RM388.2 million in net foreign inflows. The strongest single-day foreign inflow occurred on Thursday, reaching RM284.2 million, an amount not seen since late May. This significant inflow helped offset a net selling position recorded on Tuesday.
Foreign Investors Sustained Net Buying Trend

Foreign investors continued their trend of net buying for the third consecutive week, accumulating RM388.2 million in inflows. While they were net sellers on Tuesday, August 2, this was counterbalanced by buying activity on other days. The week commenced with a net purchase of RM49.7 million, followed by a net sale of RM40 million on Tuesday. Subsequent buying on Wednesday amounted to RM75 million, culminating in the substantial RM284.2 million inflow on Thursday. The week concluded with a modest net inflow of RM19.3 million.
Local Institutions Remained Net Sellers

In contrast to foreign investors, local institutions were net sellers for the fourth consecutive week, with a total outflow of RM266.9 million. Their net selling activities dominated most of the week, with the exception of Tuesday when they recorded a net buying of RM68.3 million. The largest net selling by local institutions occurred on Thursday, reaching RM205.5 million, indicating a significant divestment on that day.
Local Retailers Also Disposed of Equities

Local retailers also maintained their position as net sellers for the third consecutive week, disposing of RM121.4 million in local equities. The heaviest outflow from this segment was observed on Thursday, amounting to RM78.7 million. Earlier in the week, outflows were more moderate, with RM28.0 million on Monday and RM28.3 million on Tuesday. However, local retailers did show some buying activity, turning into net buyers on Wednesday (RM5.2 million) and at the end of the week (RM8.5 million).
Overall Year-to-Date Inflows and Trade Volume

Year-to-date, international funds have demonstrated a consistent net buying pattern, having been net buyers in 20 out of the 31 weeks of 2022, resulting in a total net inflow of RM6.65 billion. Local retailers have also been net buyers for 19 weeks, accumulating RM1.57 billion. Conversely, local institutions have been net sellers for 24 weeks, with a substantial net outflow of RM8.23 billion. All investor classes experienced an increase in average daily trade volume (ADTV) last week, with retail investors showing the largest rise at 11.4 per cent, followed by foreign investors at 5.7 per cent, and institutional investors at 3.7 per cent.
