Russia-Ukraine war to hit India’s economy! What should D-St investors do?
04:58am, Saturday, 12'th Mar 2022 Economic Times India
Domestic market began the week in a bearish mood, but appeared to be regaining lost ground as tensions between Russia-Ukraine began to de-escalate. While the worst may seem to be over, a prolonged rise in inflation could be lurking around the corner as multiple sanctions placed on Russia have sparked an unbridled rally in commodity prices. India, though is better equipped, is certainly not immune to these events. According to third-quarter GDP statistics, Indian industry grew at a tepid rate, mainly attributed to sluggish domestic demand. Slower government investment and weak rural demand hampered growth, with agriculture being a key dragger as it recorded the lowest growth over the previous 11 quarters. In fact, as a huge portion of our population is battling with stagnating or decreasing incomes and rising living costs, the present visible private demand is emanating from the top of the pyramid. This, coupled with sustained high inflation, may indicate the evolution of a stagflationary situation where the economic growth momentum slows.If the un-abating rise in commodity prices were to go on, it would force the companies across sectors to pass on some hikes to the end consumer in order to protect their margins.

''Half of Nifty 50 companies to gain from commodity surge and rupee fall''
02:33am, Saturday, 12'th Mar 2022 Economic Times India
Mumbai: Half of the components on the Nifty 50 index are likely to benefit from rising commodity prices and the rupee depreciation in FY22, according to a study by Motilal Oswal Financial Services. Metals along with oil and gas companies are direct beneficiaries of rising prices, while indirect beneficiaries include export-oriented sectors, especially IT, which benefit from rupee depreciation."At the Nifty index level, we observe that 29% of FY22 estimated profit pool is likely to be benefiting from rising crude and energy prices, while nearly 18% of the profit pool can benefit from rupee depreciation," said Motilal Oswal in a client note.The brokerage said only 9% of FY22 estimated profit pool is likely to be adversely impacted by the sharp spike in commodity prices, while 44-45% of profit pool is not directly impacted.90162522Prices of commodities from metals to farm products have shot up in the past one month following Russia''s invasion of Ukraine, resulting in a supply shortfall. Companies such as ONGC and Oil India may see an increase in their earnings per share (EPS) by 7-12% for every $5 per barrel rise in crude oil realisation."While the situation is still unfolding, the current spike in prices is unlikely to have a significant direct negative impact on index earnings at an aggregate level even as sector or stock-specific disruption plays out," said Motilal Oswal Financial Services. "That said, if price spike sustains for longer, the consequent higher inflation and demand destruction could impact growth which in-turn could create downside risks to corporate earnings estimates."While the Nifty is down 11% from its peak in October last year, the broader market has witnessed a much sharper sell-off.
