Capital Inflows into Malaysia Expected to Stay Firm -- Market Talk

Dow Jones12:58

0458 GMT - Capital inflows into emerging markets, including Malaysia, are expected to stay firm in 2026, UOB economists write in a note. This would be supported by expected Fed rate cuts, a softer dollar and stronger growth prospects for emerging markets. Recent trade agreements and a temporary U.S.-China trade truce have eased geopolitical risks and trade uncertainty, offering near-term tailwinds. Domestic growth drivers such as credible monetary policy and ongoing fiscal reforms are also likely to position Malaysia as an attractive destination for capital inflows. "This alongside improving current account surplus and stronger foreign reserves will further underpin the [ringgit] outlook," UOB says.(amanda.lee@wsj.com)
