KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 20\u00a0— Foreign investors remained net buyers for the week ended on Sept 17, 2021, with net inflows amounting to RM125.97 million, marking the sixth consecutive inflow week of net buying by\u00a0foreign investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MIDF Research said foreign investors were net buyers for every day of the week except on Friday, with the largest foreign inflow recorded on Wednesday at RM76.96 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe lowest inflow was recorded on Monday to the tune of RM58.39 million, meanwhile, net selling by foreign investors on Friday amounted to RM72.65 million,\u201d it said in its weekly fund flow report today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to\u00a0Bank Islam chief economist Dr. Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid, a few factors may have contributed to the lower purchases, including the shorter trading week\u00a0as the market was closed on Thursday for the Malaysia\u00a0Day celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He noted that there were also concerns regarding the banking sector\u00a0following the Finance Ministry\u2019s move to instruct banks to work on\u00a0the exemption of\u00a0accrued interest payments for bank loan moratorium recipients, involving those from the bottom 50 percent of the population.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMarket participants are waiting for more details, which may have created some uncertainties on the banks\u2019 earnings prospects, \u201c he told Bernama. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

MIDF Research noted that retailers were also net buyers every day last week, with the largest net buying recorded on Friday and the smallest net buying on Wednesday at RM81.57 million and RM6.97 million, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCumulatively, for the week, retailers net bought RM211.55 million worth of equities in Bursa Malaysia, while the local institutions recorded cumulative weekly net selling to the tune of RM337.92 million,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The research house said local institutions were net sellers for every day of the week, with the largest net selling on Tuesday at RM123.18 million, while the lowest was on Friday at RM8.92 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
