EME Macro/Strategy: macro all-in-one (27 February-5 March)

The geopolitical crisis in the Middle East has intensified over the past week, with Iran’s aerial response to the recent US-Israel aerial strikes, spreading to regional US military bases in the neighbouring countries. The sharp rise in energy prices will lift inflation in the very near term, but upside risks are mounting, as we do not see credible signals of a quick resolution within the next week. In other news, the NBP delivered a 25bps cut. February’s inflation prints were released in the Euro area and Türkiye, showing firm food inflation, while inflation in Czechia fell unexpectedly. Lastly, inflation in the CIS+ region stayed broadly the same, or declined, on a yoy basis, while the NBK kept rates unchanged.
