Thailand’s third-quarter gross domestic product figures will be released on Monday, and markets are anticipating a contraction. Analysts expect a 0.3% decline, according to economists polled by The Wall Street Journal.
The data will likely show that the economy slowed due to heightened domestic political uncertainty and rising external pressures, ANZ economists said.
Singapore
Singapore watchers will be focused on several key data releases that will offer a clearer picture of how the economy is holding up. October non-oil domestic exports data arrive Monday, followed by Friday’s third-quarter trade performance review–both important gauges for a heavily trade-dependent economy navigating U.S. tariffs.
Revised third-quarter GDP figures are also due Friday and could be adjusted up to 3.5% year-over-year from the 2.9% advance estimate, driven by stronger-than-expected manufacturing and export activity, ING economists wrote in a note.
Malaysia
Malaysia’s trade ministry will release October trade data on Wednesday afternoon, with markets watching for whether export growth remains supported by electrical and electronics shipments despite pressure on other sectors from U.S. tariffs.
DBS economists noted that strength in E&E likely reflects regional trends, helped by tariff exemptions and continued AI-related demand.
On Friday, October inflation data will be released, and ANZ economist Khoon Goh expects a slight uptick to 1.6% from 1.5% in September on higher transport and utilities prices. Looking ahead, he said inflation should remain contained given moderate global commodity prices and limited domestic demand pressures, and he does not expect further policy rate cuts from Bank Negara Malaysia in the current cycle.
