# BPA Malaysia weekly bond market report 1 October 2017 | Borneo Post Online

> The weekly Malaysian bond market report says the ringgit weakened to 4.222 per US dollar on Friday, from 4.1975 the previous Thursday, after the Fed chair signalled a hawkish stance. Bond trading volume rose about 90%, and a 15-year MGII auction drew a muted bid-to-cover ratio.

## Why it matters

A stronger US dollar raises the cost of dollar-priced feed imports for Malaysia. The main driver is US rate expectations rather than anything specific to feed.
