Foreign inflows in Asian bonds surge to seven-month high in June

Foreign investors poured a net $11.51 billion into Asian bonds in June, the highest monthly inflow since November 2025, across South Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and India. Indian bonds alone attracted $3.24 billion, the largest monthly inflow since June 2017, after New Delhi scrapped capital gains tax on interest income and sales of government securities for overseas investors. Lower crude prices and strong technology demand also supported regional sentiment.
