0210 GMT - Yields on Malaysian short-dated government securities are likely to stay stable in near term, says DBS Group Research economist Chua Han Teng. "This stems from the likelihood of Bank Negara Malaysiamaintaining its overnight policy rate at 2.75% for the remainder of 2025, amid signs of economic growth resilience despite lingering external challenges from U.S. tariffs," he says. Malaysia's advance real GDP growth surprised on the upside in 3Q, supported by robust performance in all main sectors, the economist notes. The central bank's pre-emptive 25bps rate cut in July appears to be bearing fruit, he adds. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
