Foreign investors turned net sellers across most Asian markets last week, ending a three-week streak of consecutive buying with total outflows amounting to USD10.19 billion. Among the eight regional markets monitored, Thailand was the only market to record net foreign inflows. On Bursa Malaysia, foreign institutions extended their selling momentum for a third straight week, posting net outflows of RM85.1 million amid cautious regional sentiment.
Despite the weekly outflows, April 2026 ended on a more positive note for Asian equities as foreign investors recorded net inflows of USD851.5 million, snapping a five-month streak of net selling. Domestically, foreign institutions also returned as net buyers in April, registering RM449.0 million in inflows after the previous month’s outflows.
Meanwhile, the US dollar strengthened 0.2% against the ringgit to RM3.9717. Brent crude oil climbed 2.7% to USD108.17 per barrel, while crude palm oil prices eased 0.6% to RM4,570 per tonne.
