Malaysia's Inflation Trajectory May Be Weighed by Geopolitical Tensions -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

0745 GMT - Malaysia's 2026 inflation trajectory is likely to face pressure from rising global geopolitical tensions, TA Securities analyst Farid Burhanuddin says, noting Brent crude oil prices is a key factor to monitor. Headline CPI could rise by around 0.03 percentage points for every $10 increment in Brent crude oil prices, he notes. However, the actual pass-through from higher oil prices will depend on Malaysia's subsidy mechanisms, pricing policies and demand conditions. Malaysia's 2026 headline inflation is projected at 2.1%-2.6%, under TA Securities' base case, which assumes Brent crude oil prices would average $80-$100 a barrel.(amanda.lee@wsj.com)
