Middle East Risks May Delay Bank Negara Malaysia's Rate Hike

Dow Jones07-09

0904 GMT - Bank Negara Malaysia likely held back from turning more decisively hawkish after the recent flare-up in Middle East tensions renewed concerns over risks to economic growth, Barclays economist Brian Tan says in a note. While resilient exports, supported by the AI-driven cycle, are expected to strengthen the case for tighter policy over time, policymakers are likely to wait for greater certainty that geopolitical tensions have eased. Barclays continues to expect a 25bp rate hike in September, taking the policy rate to 3.00%. (yingxian.wong@wsj.com)
