The firm is optimistic about energy sectors, particularly crude palm oil, while advising against investments in non-essential consumer goods, hotels, and leisure. It notes that consumer inflation typically lags behind oil price increases by about six months, although energy subsidies in Malaysia and Indonesia may provide temporary relief to consumers."

# Macquarie: Southeast Asia Fuel Prices Surge Amid Iran Conflict

Macquarie stated in a stock research report on April 9 that fuel prices in Southeast Asia have significantly increased and are unlikely to return to pre-Iran conflict levels in the short term. According to Jin10, the firm remains optimistic about energy-related industries, including alternatives like crude palm oil, while advising against non-essential consumer goods, hotels, and leisure sectors. Macquarie noted that after a substantial rise in oil prices, it typically takes about six months for consumer inflation to show a significant increase. The report also mentioned that energy subsidies in Malaysia and Indonesia might temporarily mitigate the negative impact on consumers.
