Ringgit overcomes this year’s slow start as inflows gather pace

Analysts are predicting that the ringgit’s rebound from a 26-year low will prove more lasting than a previous attempt as global funds return to Malaysian assets and the export outlook improves.

(May 31): The ringgit has raced ahead of all its Asian peers in the past three months and if market watchers are right, the move is set to gain traction.

The currency — which has climbed nearly 1% since the end of February — is expected to rise to 4.65 per dollar by year-end from 4.7050 now, according to strategists surveyed by Bloomberg. Rising foreign inflows and income repatriation by state firms are fuelling the optimism.

Analysts are predicting that the ringgit’s rebound from a 26-year low will prove more lasting than a previous attempt as global funds return to Malaysian assets and the export outlook improves. Local stocks are set to receive their first monthly inflow since February while overseas investors snapped up US$233 million (RM1.1 billion) of the nation’s bonds in April.

The ringgit’s performance is due to “foreign inflows into domestic equity and bond markets, improved growth prospects and a widening of the current-account surplus”, said Christopher Wong, a strategist at Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp in Singapore.

"By holding dividend stocks, investors can mitigate portfolio risk, as dividends provide a buffer against losses even if stock prices decrease.

"Additionally, dividend-paying stocks demonstrate lower volatility compared to non-dividend-paying counterparts," he said.

Banks and real estate investment trusts (REITs) are renowned for their attractive dividend yields.

He said UOB Kay Hian's in-house analysts project a dividend yield of 6.5 per cent in 2024 for the banking sector, with expectations for it to rise to 6.8 per cent in 2025 and further to 7.1 per cent in 2027.

(July 3): Singapore stocks rose to the highest level in two years, helped by optimism over major banks’ dividend payouts and elevated Federal Reserve interest rates hopes.

“Clients are rotating to play the higher-for-longer interest rate theme. The banks are big beneficiaries,” said Tareck Horchani, head of prime brokerage dealing at Maybank Securities Pte. “Over the past two days, we have been actively purchasing shares for global funds and regional asset managers.”

Clients are rotating to play the higher-for-longer interest rate theme. The banks are big beneficiaries,” said Tareck Horchani, head of prime brokerage dealing at Maybank Securities Pte. “Over the past two days, we have been actively purchasing shares for global funds and regional asset managers.”

Shares of DBS Group Holdings Ltd climbed 2.3% and Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp added 1.2%, with both extending record highs. United Overseas Bank Ltd rose 2% to its highest level in more than two years.

While higher interest rates help banks’ profitability, they can also translate into capital returns for shareholders “as the sector has capacity to improve already very attractive dividend yields,” Horchani said.

The 12-month projected dividend yield for OCBC was 5.6% compared with about 4.3% for the MSCI Asia Pacific Financials gauge, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Singapore banks are set to report results early next month.
