[UOB: Malaysian Inflation May Gradually Rise, But Overall Pressure is Manageable] UOB economists Julia Goh and Loke Siew Ting stated in a report that Malaysian inflation may gradually rise in the coming months due to base effects, cyclical factors, and policy-related factors, but overall price pressures are expected to remain manageable. The report points out that the price of subsidized RON95 petrol is likely to remain unchanged until the end of 2026, while a stronger ringgit will help limit imported inflation, having only a partial transmission effect. Despite strong GDP growth in the fourth quarter of 2025, manageable inflation leaves the Central Bank of Malaysia with little reason to adjust policy, and the policy rate is expected to remain at 2.75% by the end of 2026. UOB forecasts that Malaysia's average inflation rate for the whole of 2026 will be 2.0%, higher than 1.4% in 2025.

[Nvidia to Invest $30 Billion in OpenAI, Replacing $100 Billion Computing Power Partnership] According to the Financial Times, citing sources familiar with the matter, Nvidia is close to reaching a $30 billion equity investment agreement with OpenAI. Negotiations are in their final stages and could be finalized as early as this weekend. This deal is part of a larger funding round for OpenAI, which is expected to exceed $100 billion and value the company at approximately $730 billion (excluding the new funds). OpenAI reportedly plans to reinvest most of the newly raised funds in Nvidia hardware. However, this move means the two companies will abandon the multi-year $100 billion investment partnership announced last September. This long-term commitment was ultimately shelved due to recent investor concerns about the health of the AI industry and a 17% decline in US tech stocks since the beginning of the year.
