Global News
• Rising oil shock and Iran war uncertainty slow Asian factory momentum, squeezing costs and confidence: Asian factory activity broadly slowed in March as rising fuel costs and uncertainty from the Iran war weighed on business sentiment, especially in oil-dependent economies reliant on the Strait of Hormuz. While China’s manufacturing PMI eased to 50.8 (still in expansion), cost pressures and supply disruptions intensified; similar moderation was seen across Indonesia, Vietnam, Taiwan, and the Philippines. Japan’s PMI also declined to 51.6 amid a 19-month high in input costs driven by energy prices, weak yen, and labour shortages. In contrast, South Korea outperformed with the fastest factory expansion in over four years, supported by strong semiconductor demand. Overall, elevated oil prices, currency weakness, and global uncertainty are dampening confidence, tightening financial conditions, and complicating policy responses across Asia.
