On April 15, as the conflict in the Middle East continues, rising oil prices are impacting the Asian economy. Chetan Ahya, Chief Economist for Asia at Morgan Stanley, stated that before the escalation of geopolitical tensions, consumer growth in Asian economies, including China, was gradually improving. However, with rising energy prices, disposable income is expected to weaken in the short term, although policies and savings may provide a buffer. He noted that if oil prices drop below $90 per barrel in the next 3 to 4 months, the industrial cycle could accelerate again, supporting capital expenditure, employment, and consumption. Conversely, if oil prices remain at $120 per barrel, the further increase in fuel prices will lead consumers to adjust their spending patterns, potentially resulting in a more significant drag on consumption. Morgan Stanley's Chief Economist for China, Xing Ziqiang, pointed out that since the escalation of geopolitical tensions, the growth of consumption related to China's 'trade-in' program has continued to slow. The team explained that given China's relatively low dependence on energy imports, a low starting point for inflation, and regulated fuel pricing, the direct impact of rising energy prices on household consumption may be limited. However, rising input costs could compress the profit margins of downstream enterprises, which in turn may dampen wage growth and employment, ultimately affecting consumption, especially in a context where wage growth is already relatively weak.
