UOB keeps its 2026 GDP growth forecast at 4.5% and expects Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) to hold the Overnight Policy Rate at 2.75%. Growth slows as risks intensify “Although headline growth was robust in 1Q26, downside risks have intensified as the Middle East conflict enters its 11th week and the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed.” “Pending greater clarity, we maintain our 2026 GDP growth forecast at 4.5% (BNM est: 4.0%–5.0%, 2025: 5.2%), with the central bank expected to keep the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) unchanged at 2.75% until clearer shifts emerg

The post Fed: Extended pause before cautious easing – UOB appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
