Mideast Conflict Set to Have Mixed Impact on Malaysia Exports -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-20

0653 GMT - Malaysia's exports face a mixed outlook amid the Middle East conflict, CGS International economist Mas Aida Che Mansor says in a note. Overall exports should continue to be supported by shipments of manufactured products, especially in electrical and electronics. The country could also face more demand for crude oil and liquefied natural gas exports, she says. Buyers will look for alternatives as Middle East supply has been disrupted due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. However, rising oil prices and supply-chain strains could push up logistics and input costs, weighing on the country's production. CGS International maintains its 2026 export growth forecast for Malaysia at 7.9%.(amanda.lee@wsj.com)
