Sandeep Neema of PL Asset Management sees financials as compelling. Industrials and capital goods well placed on capex.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The crude oil price has stormed back above 100 dollars a barrel for the first time since May, after Yemen&#8217;s Houthis struck two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea, extending the Middle East conflict to a second major shipping chokepoint. Yet a rising crude oil price alone may not threaten India&#8217;s economy, according to Sandeep Neema of PL Asset Management, who argues the bigger risks lie elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Neema believes financials stand out as a compelling sector on a risk reward basis at current levels. Beyond financials, industrials and capital goods remain well placed given the sustained momentum in government capital expenditure, he notes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 24px;\"><a

Foreign exchange reserves are substantial, the fiscal position has improved, and refiners source discounted barrels from diversified suppliers, softening the blow of a spot crude oil price spike.<\/p>\n<p>The economy is also less oil intensive per unit of GDP than a decade ago, with rising renewable capacity, growing EV penetration and improved energy efficiency. A temporary spike hurts sentiment more than fundamentals, provided it does not persist for quarters.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Could_Actually_Threaten_the_Economy\"><\/span><strong>What Could Actually Threaten the Economy<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The real risks, in this framework, are second order effects. A sustained crude oil price above 100 dollars combined with a global trade war, surging US yields and persistent FII outflows would tighten financial conditions, pressure the rupee beyond 96.63 and force imported inflation into the system.<\/p>\n<p>A prolonged squeeze would also strain the current account, revive fuel subsidy pressures and complicate the RBI&#8217;s rate path. In short, duration and combination matter more than the level of the crude oil price itself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 24px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/screeners\"><strong>Screen sectors that outperform during oil spikes on the Univest Screener<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Invest_When_the_Crude_Oil_Price_Is_High\"><\/span><strong>Where to Invest When the Crude Oil Price Is High<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Financials stand out as a compelling sector on a risk reward basis at current levels, according to Neema, since banks and NBFCs carry little direct oil cost exposure and benefit from a resilient domestic credit cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Industrials and capital goods remain well placed given the sustained momentum in government capital expenditure.
