Foreign inflows into Malaysian bonds surge to RM10.2bil in April

Quick Summary:

KUALA LUMPUR: Foreign net buying of Malaysian bonds surged to RM10.2 billion in April 2025 from RM3.2 billion in March, driven by strong demand for Malaysian Government Securities (MGS) and Government Investment Issues (GII), said RAM Rating Services Bhd (RAM Ratings).

"The selloff pressure was relatively contained within the US as MGS yields largely trended sideways, with the benchmark 10-year MGS yield sitting at 3.64 per cent as at May 19 from 3.68 per cent as of end-April,” it said.

Market jitters, however, soon subsided amid signs of easing US-China trade tensions.The ringgit rose to 4.32 against the US dollar as of end-April while the 10-year UST yield retreated to 4.17 per cent,” it added.
