  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 28 — Malaysia’s domestic financial markets have been adjusting in an orderly fashion, according to the Financial Markets Committee (FMC) of Bank Negara Malaysia. The FMC's Discussion Summary stated that market conditions were favorable for corporations to secure the necessary funding to meet their financial needs. The committee also noted that external factors such as geopolitical uncertainties, oil price volatility, and the evolving global interest rate environment pose near-term challenges to the domestic market. However, members pointed out that the recent rise in bond yields could present an attractive opportunity for foreign investors, given the positive sentiment towards Malaysia. They added that ongoing measures, including the qualified resident investor program and engagement with government-linked entities, are expected to maintain support for the foreign exchange and bond markets. The committee further explained that recent market movements were primarily influenced by global factors, specifically the US Federal Reserve's policy rate developments. As the US signaled potential interest rate hikes, the US dollar strengthened, and US Treasury yields increased, leading to broader adjustments across global markets, including regional currencies and bonds. The ringgit showed moderation in September after being relatively stable in July and August, while yields on Malaysian Government Securities rose in response to a prolonged stable period and higher global bond yields. The committee also observed increased interest in corporate bond issuances and enhanced hedging activities.",
