Kotak Securities Projects Rupee Stability Despite Rising Crude Prices and Market Impact
Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research at Kotak Securities, stated that rising crude oil prices driven by Middle East tensions may limit Indian stock market gains and increase inflation to 4.8-5.2%. He projected real GDP growth could slow to 5.5-5.8% if crude surpasses USD 105 per barrel. Despite these pressures, Chouhan expects the Indian Rupee to remain above 97 against the US Dollar, unlikely to breach 100. He anticipates market consolidation with support near 23,800 and a trading range between 23,000 and 25,000.
