LOCAL institutional investors sustained their buying momentum for the fourth consecutive week, recording net inflows totalling RM620.6 million, according to MIDF Amanah Investment Bank Bhd.

In its Fund Flow Report for the week ended 13 June 2025, MIDF noted that retail investors continued to pare down their positions, extending their net selling streak to a second week with outflows of -RM176.2 million—three times higher than the -RM57.3 million recorded the previous week.

Foreign investors also remained net sellers on Bursa Malaysia for the fourth straight week, registering outflows amounting to -RM444.4 million, up from -RM387.4 million the week prior.

“The foreign investors were net sellers on every trading day except Wednesday, with outflows ranging from -RM34.6 million to -RM211.6 million,” said the investment bank.

“The largest outflow was recorded on Friday, followed by Thursday with -RM127.4 million, while Wednesday recorded a net inflow of RM10.1 million,” it added.

MIDF highlighted that the three sectors with the highest net foreign inflows were industrial products and services (RM19.4 million), transportation (RM17.3 million) and real estate investment trusts (RM8.2 million).

Conversely, the financial services sector bore the brunt of foreign selling with net outflows of -RM305.2 million, followed by healthcare (-RM51.7 million) and property (-RM36.8 million).

“The average daily trading volume saw a broad-based incline last week, with the exception of foreign investors,” said MIDF. “Local institutions and local retailers saw an increase of +12.6 per cent and +14.6 per cent, respectively, while foreign investors saw a plunge of -8.4 per cent.” - June 16, 2025
