Foreign Inflows into Asian Bond Markets Drop to Four-Month Low in July
Foreign investment in major Asian bond markets fell to a four-month low in July, totaling a net purchase of $2.03 billion across India, Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea, and Thailand. This decline occurred despite a global increase in emerging-market debt inflows, driven by geopolitical tensions and rising oil prices linked to the Middle East conflict. India and South Korea saw positive inflows, while Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia experienced weaker demand, with Indonesia notably affected by the resignation of its central bank governor. Economic slowdowns in China and India also contributed to reduced regional appeal.
