BPAM’s weekly bond market snapshot provides an overview of some key indicators of the Malaysian Ringgit bond and sukuk market.:
  • FTSE BPAM Bond Index Charts: Show the performance of the All Bond, All Sukuk, All Government Bond and All Corporate Bond Indices over the week. It can be looked at the same way as a stock market index (ie. Up = Bull Market, Down = Bear Market)
  •  
  • Constant Maturity YTM Curve Charts: Show the yield-to-maturity (YTM) curves for bonds and sukuk (ie the return for a given level of risk) for 1-30 year maturities. It is a measure of the return given by a bond for the price paid.
  •  
  • The BIR (BPAM Market Implied Ratings) is a statistically derived rating scale based on the daily yield levels of the bonds and sukuk. It is fundamentally different from the Credit Rating (CR) as provided by Rating Agencies.The BIR and CR can be compared to obtain the deviations and notch changes.
This data is derived from the databases of Bond Pricing Agency Malaysia Sdn Bhd, a registered Bond Pricing Agency with the Securities Commission of Malaysia. For more information, visit www.bpam.com.my
