Brent oil prices rose to $107 per barrel amid U.S.-Iran tensions. India's petrol and diesel prices increased for the first time in four years. Economists expect further measures to encourage foreign capital inflows, while interest rate swaps indicate potential rate hikes over the next year.

Oil price strain keeps rupee near record low, state banks' dollar sales cushion

Emerging market stocks and currencies declined, with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index falling 2.2%, its largest drop in over six weeks, due to rising oil prices and cautious investor sentiment. Brent crude prices increased by over 1%, while concerns about inflation and unresolved conflicts in the Strait of Hormuz dampened risk appetite. A foreign exchange strategist noted that risk assets may continue to fluctuate, though pessimism remains moderate.

Thailand's Q1 GDP data is expected to show slowed growth, with private consumption moderating and tourism revenue contracting. In Malaysia, inflation may rise to 1.9% due to higher fuel prices, while exports remain strong. Indonesia's central bank is likely to raise its policy rate by 25 basis points amid forex pressures, although a larger hike is deemed unlikely. A pause may occur if significant foreign currency bonds are issued.
