Given events over the weekend, the Middle East conflict may escalate, impacting currencies and other assets, and risk spurring inflation again. Meanwhile, the US's robust GDP growth, backed by deficit spending and subsidies for semiconductor, will help drive ASEAN export growth. How might these different developments affect ASEAN and central banks' decisions on interest rates?
