India's Prime Minister Modi received a call from the UAE president.

Foreign investors were net sellers of Asian bonds in August, the first monthly outflow in five months, as a global bond sell-off and expectations of further monetary tightening by major central banks reduced demand for the region's debt. Regulators and the regional bond market association reported combined net sales of $457 mln across Korea, Malaysia, India, Indonesia and Thailand. Analysts said expectations of extended restrictive policy from major central banks and concerns over heavier government bond supply in some developed markets pushed investors to trim emerging-market bond exposure. Korea saw the largest outflow, with foreigners selling about $5.4 bln of domestic bonds after four months of net buying.
