1 19 December 2018 ECONOMIC REVIEW November 2018 Consumer Price Index Inflation Remains Tepid in November at 0.2% as Transport Cost Trending Downward Headline inflation back to near 4-year low. Consumer price index increased 0.2%yoy in Nov-18, same as in Aug-18 which is the lowest since Mar-15. The figure went down slightly more than our forecast of 0.3%yoy while market expected it to maintain at previous month s rate of 0.6%yoy. The moderation mainly attributed to transport prices which dropped by 2.3%yoy (+0.8%yoy in Oct-18). Despite the slowdown in headline prices, core inflation rate increased further to 0.5%yoy (0.4%yoy in Oct-18). Fuel-related inflation decreased. The average price of Brent crude oil went down to $65.5 per barrel, a tepid increase of 3.8%yoy in Nov-18 ($80.5 per barrel in Oct-18). The nine-month low price came in despite consideration by oil producers to cut production in order to curtail rising global surplus. Nevertheless, oil supply led by the US is growing more quickly than demand. In contrast, retail fuel price recorded a negative growth of 4.7%yoy during the month. In tandem, prices of fuels & lubricants contracted 3.3%yoy in Nov-18 (+1.8%yoy in Oct-18). Tepid inflation for 2018 at 1.3%. Amid higher base effects, we foresee headline inflation rate to average at 1.3% this year compared to 3.8% in This is supported by lower inflation rate for the first eleven months which registered at 1% compared to 3.8% in the same period last year. Headline inflation back to near 4-year low. Consumer price index increased 0.2%yoy in Nov-18, same as in Aug-18 which is the lowest since Mar-15. The figure went down slightly more than our forecast of 0.3%yoy while market expected it to maintain at previous month s rate of 0.6%yoy. The moderation mainly attributed to transport prices which dropped by 2.3%yoy (+0.8%yoy in Oct-18). Despite the slowdown in headline prices, core inflation rate increased further to 0.5%yoy (0.4%yoy in Oct-18). Looking ahead, Malaysia s inflation is likely to remain low in upcoming month as average Brent oil price for the first two weeks of Dec-18 registered low at $61 on oversupply concerns, on top of subsidization of domestic fuel price. Slim slowdown in food inflation. Food and non-alcoholic beverages inflation which accounted 29.5% in the CPI weights increased by 1.1%yoy in Nov-18 (1.2%yoy in Oct-18). Prices for fresh meat fell by 2%yoy and moderated for fresh seafood and vegetables at 1.5%yoy and 0.8%yoy respectively. In contrast, prices of fresh fruits and food away from home increased at a faster rate in Nov-18. Fuel-related inflation decreased. The average price of Brent crude oil went down to $65.5 per barrel, a tepid increase of 3.8%yoy in Nov-18 ($80.5 per barrel in Oct-18). The nine-month low price came in despite consideration by oil producers to cut production in order to curtail rising global surplus. Nevertheless, oil supply led by the US is growing more quickly than demand. Net exports of crude oil and petroleum products from the US totalled 211K barrels per day in the week ended November 30, making it the net oil exporter for the first time in 75 years. In contrast, retail fuel price recorded a negative growth of 4.7%yoy during the month. In tandem, prices of fuels & lubricants contracted 3.3%yoy in Nov-18 (+1.8%yoy in Oct-18). Looking ahead, average Brent oil price for the first two weeks of Dec-18 registered at $61. At this juncture, we expect 2018 s fuel-related inflation to moderate amid higher base effects and subsidization of domestic fuel price.

3 3 MIDF RESEARCH Majority states recorded price decline. In Nov-18, inflation in most of the states across Malaysia including Sabah and Sarawak fell to negative territory. The highest drop was observed in Kedah and Perlis at 0.8%yoy. Meanwhile, states such as Johor, Kl and Penang recorded inflation above the national average with KL increased the most at 1.2%yoy. In overall, peninsular Malaysia recorded a slightly higher than national average inflation at 0.3%yoy. In regards to transport, prices decreased for all three: Peninsular (-2.3%yoy), Sabah (-1.8%yoy) and Sarawak (-2.4%yoy).

The US s headline inflation rate went down to 2.2%yoy in Nov-18 from 2.5%yoy in the previous month, in line with market consensus. The lowest reading since Feb-18 was mainly driven by the fuel oil and gasoline prices which slowed to 16.1%yoy and 5%yoy respectively (26.2%yoy and 16.1%yoy in Oct-18). Despite the slowdown in headline prices, core inflation edged up to 2.2%yoy in Nov-18 (2.1%yoy in Oct-18). As the underlying pressure remains, it reinforces expectations that the Fed will raise interest rates in its last policy meeting today. Similarly, other key countries including China and the EU saw their inflation moderated to 2.2%yoy and 2%yoy respectively in Nov-18. Among ASEAN countries, prices increased at a slower pace for Philippines and Thailand while stagnant for Indonesia. Philippines inflation rate of 6%yoy is in line with our expectation that inflation had peaked last month and will taper off moving forward. Looking ahead, we foresee global inflation to pick up steadily in 2H18 amid of existing trade friction, rising commodity prices and normalising monetary policy in major economies.

Amid higher base effects, we foresee headline inflation rate to average at 1.3% this year compared to 3.8% in This is supported by lower inflation rate for the first eleven months which registered at 1% compared to 3.8% in the same period last year. We expect inflationary pressure mainly from fuel-related items to calm, consistent with gradual rise in global commodity prices on top of pass-through effect from a strengthening ringgit (USD/MYR average: 4.32 in 2017; 4.00f in 2018) and subsidy of domestic fuel price. In line with our expectation, overnight policy rate was left unchanged at 3.25% in the final scheduled MPC meeting of the year which took place on 8 th November.
