TOYOTA MOTOR CORP suppliers are cutting profit forecasts by up to 45 billion yen ($282 million) as the war in Iran drives up material costs. The conflict, which began February 28, is disrupting supplies of aluminium and naphtha-derived plastics across Japan. Investors face margin compression as suppliers absorb rising input prices before they can pass costs to automakers.
