Vinod Karki, Equity Strategist, ICICI Securities, says the recent market correction appears to be primarily a response to the significant increase in US bond yields. Additionally, there are certain risks associated with economic growth, as evidenced by a noticeable deceleration in the economy. However, we attribute much of this slowdown to temporary factors such as elections and rainfall, which are likely to result in a postponement of demand until the latter half of this year. The predominant concern remains the escalation of bond yields and the prevailing optimism surrounding Trump, both of which have influenced market dynamics. Vinod Karki further notes that, in terms of overall market value, two sectors are distinctly prominent: large financial institutions and commodities. What is your take on the market fall on Monday because this is definitely getting on our nerves. Firstly, it hit the traders, breaching the key support levels, and now the investors are a little concerned about the fall. What is your take on the fall that we are witnessing? Is it a healthy correction or do you believe something has really changed in terms of the narrative? Vinod Karki: Fundamentally, the key reason why this is happening is the surge in US bond yields.

Yogesh Patil, V-P, Dolat Capital, says Long-term contracts won't be affected by crude sourcing agreements with Russia, but spot purchases of Russian oil, which account for 40-45% of India's imports, will be impacted. Discounts on Russian crude were about $3 per barrel recently, but Indian refiners will now need to source oil from the Middle East without discounts, affecting their gross refining margins. Currently, petrol, diesel, and LPG prices are somewhat frozen, preventing companies from passing increased crude costs to consumers, leading to challenges for OMCs amid rising prices. On a positive note, ONGC and Oil India are expected to report strong results due to a weakening rupee, rising oil prices, and the removal of the windfall gain tax. However, ONGC's stock fell on Monday, likely due to concerns over its investments in Russian assets. How major could be the impact of the new sanctions by the US on Russian oil on global crude oil prices? Where do you see oil prices headed globally? Yogesh Patil: On Friday evening, the Biden administration imposed sanctions on the Russian export oil supply chain and two major oil companies including Gazprom Neft Gas, which are involved in export of closer to one million barrels per day oil on a daily basis. Secondly, they have sanctioned closer to 180 vessels, which are exporting the oil to different nations and lastly on some insurance companies.
