[Dahua Analyst: Singapore PMI Data Shows Initial Disruptions from Middle East Conflict] (1) In a report, Dahua's Jester Koh pointed out that the latest Singapore Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) sub-indices have shown early signs of disruption caused by the Middle East conflict. (2) The manufacturing input price index rose from 50.7 in February to 51.0 in March, possibly reflecting the early impact of rising energy and petrochemical raw material costs; meanwhile, the manufacturing supplier delivery index contracted further last month, indicating potential production obstacles in the coming months. (3) Koh emphasized that this PMI data is significant because it is one of the first macroeconomic data released after the outbreak of the conflict at the end of February.
