Russian-Ukraine conflict has minimal impact on Malaysia’s exports: MIDF
06:10am, Friday, 25'th Feb 2022 The Sun Daily
KUALA LUMPUR: The escalating Russia-Ukraine conflict will pose risks to global growth due to inflation and further disruption of global supply, but it will benefit commodities-related counters and have a minimal direct impact on Malaysia''s exports. MIDF Research said market reaction was expected but would stabilise as the conflict has no profound impact on the equities market so long as corporate earnings are unaffected. “We maintain our FBM KLCI end-2022 target at 1,700 points for now as we expect the Russia-Ukraine conflict would engender limited macro and corporate earnings fallout to our region and Malaysia in particular,” it said in a research note today. It said the geopolitical risk from the Ukraine-Russia tension has led to a further rise in the global commodity prices and for many countries, inflation has been one of the factors which could influence growth outlook. This was mainly linked to the supply disruptions as a result of the global health crisis, which led to a shortage of labour and raw materials and logistical delays. “As for further disruption in global supply, Russia is one of the major oil producers and also a major supplier of wheat, aluminium, palladium, nickel and other commodities.
