A deepening geopolitical conflict in the Middle East is forcing markets to confront a far more structural shock than recent crises. Host and ET markets editor Nishanth Vasudevan talks to Bhanu Baweja, Chief Strategist at UBS Investment Bank who warns that investors may be underestimating the scale of disruption, particularly in oil, where potential supply losses dwarf the Russia-Ukraine impact. While markets remain anchored to a “short shock” playbook, the risk of prolonged volatility looms large. More critically, he flags a cascading threat where an oil shock morphs into a liquidity crunch and eventually disrupts AI-driven growth. For India, the real vulnerability lies not in foreign flows, but in the resilience of domestic investors. You can follow our host Nishanth Vasudevan on his social media: Linkedin & Twitter.

Foreign investors have significantly reduced their holdings in Indian equities, driven by slowing earnings growth, the AI boom in South Korea and Taiwan, and rising oil prices coupled with a falling rupee. This shift has led to substantial outflows, with strategists predicting a slowdown in selling but a slow return to popularity for Indian markets.
US and Indian IPO markets are gearing up for major listings, with AI giants like OpenAI and Anthropic set to capitalize on investor frenzy. In contrast, India's anticipated Jio and NSE IPOs face a less enthusiastic market after years of stagnant returns. While US IPOs may signal market tops, India's offerings are expected to be more sober, potentially reigniting foreign investor interest.
