UOB Group’s Senior Economist Julia Goh and Economist Loke Siew Ting review the June’s inflation figures in Malaysia.
Headline inflation sustained its downward trend for the 10th straight month and hit a 14-month low at 2.4% y/y in Jun (May: 2.8%). The reading matched our estimate and Bloomberg consensus. The deceleration was contributed by almost all consumer price index (CPI) components, except for the healthcare segment. Base effects and the continuation of government subsidies also helped to bring down the country’s consumer price pressures during the month.
Recognising the latest inflation outturns, downside risks to domestic growth momentum and near peak of the global monetary tightening cycle, we continue to see a lack of strong reason for Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) to raise its policy rate further this year. Real interest rates have turned positive for the second straight month. Both core inflation and services inflation decelerated to the lowest level in a year. All these reflect the lagged effects of past interest rate hikes amid persistent labour market slack. Hence, we continue to expect BNM to leave the overnight policy rate unchanged at 3.00% for the remainder of the year.

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
