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.

SPEM Tracks 3,000 Holdings Across China, India, Brazil, South Africa, Mexico, and Other Countries. Here Is Why a Small Emerging-Markets Allocation Could Pay Off for Patient Investors

Emerging market stocks and currencies fell on Thursday due to concerns over escalating tensions in Iran, rising oil prices, and a hawkish US Federal Reserve. Oil prices surged over 7%, reaching a four-year high, amid fears of supply disruptions. Despite the daily decline, MSCI's indexes are on track for their best monthly performance since November 2022. Regional markets showed mixed results, with South Korea and Taiwan achieving significant monthly gains. The Fed's decision to keep interest rates unchanged revealed divisions within the board, adding to market uncertainty.
