Summary

Prateek Agrawal (MD & CEO, Motilal Oswal) (01 April-2026) in Monthly Market Outlook (Apr 2026) highlights Middle East-driven energy shocks elevating inflation, forex, and earnings risks. India’s relative resilience supports selective opportunities in commodities and manufacturing, while banks offer value. Sectoral outcomes hinge on conflict resolution, reinforcing volatility and dispersion.

Key Takeaways

Oil and gas disruptions drive macro stress via CAD, inflation, and currency pressure
India better positioned due to fuel diversification, refining capability, and domestic coal reliance
Commodity sectors gain pricing power if supply disruptions persist
Banks trading below intrinsic return profiles offer valuation support
IT faces structural headwinds from AI despite stable near-term demand
Market outcomes bifurcate: disruption favors cyclicals; resolution revives growth sectors
