US bombs Iran nuclear facilities: Impact on stocks, bonds, oil decoded here

Following Israel's attack on Iran's nuclear sites on 13 June, the US bombed three nuclear sites in Iran over the weekend. This military strike was widely anticipated by the market after Mr. Trump's recent warnings. The conflict could escalate further, as the US and Israel may push for the fall of Khamenei's regime in Iran, as it may retaliate to survive. Brent crude oil price is already up about 18 per cent in the past month, fearing escalation, but still remains below $80/bbl. Despite Iran being a heavily sanctioned country, it is estimated that Iran produces 3.0 to 4.0 million barrels of oil (world oil output of 103 million barrels last year), and it largely exports it to China. Iran warned that it may close the Strait of Hormuz (~26 per cent of oil trade), attack US military installations in the region, and take other military and diplomatic actions. We believe a large part of the impact on oil prices has already been reflected; however, oil may see a significant spike even from this level if Iran is able to choke major trade routes or Russia gets directly involved in the conflict. In the medium-to-long term, the supply response may help bring down oil prices, in our view. Wider Geopolitical Conflict Possible but Probability is Low: Russia is already fully occupied with Ukraine and has withdrawn its troops from Syria, resulting in the downfall of Bashar al-Assad's regime, which Russia long supported. The possibility of China or other Middle Eastern countries directly involving themselves in the conflict is also low, in our view. Impact on Indian Financial Markets: India is one of the most vulnerable countries with respect to oil price movements, given our import bill in FY 2025 reached $137 billion (3.7 per cent of GDP). Nevertheless, India's susceptibility to oil prices has reduced drastically recently, given India's solid macroeconomic fundamentals. Hence, overall India's macro and financial market performance may come under pressure, but it may not deteriorate significantly. The INR has already started to come under pressure despite the Dollar Index remaining below 99 levels and closer to 52-week low levels. We expect the INR to fall further against major currencies in coming days, and RBI intervention will be keenly watched. The Indian bond market could see some yield spike, especially longer-tenure bonds, which could offer a buying opportunity, as we believe yields could settle at lower levels in the medium to long term. It is likely that global equity markets may not react much to this conflict, as policies from central banks remain well supportive, including in India. Indian equities may see some knee-jerk reaction, and sectors like defence, IT, and pharma may outperform, while banks, logistics, and interest-rate-sensitive sectors like NBFC and real estate may underperform in the near term. However, we continue to like interest-rate-sensitive names, and any major correction could offer a buying opportunity. Our positive view on gold continues. Despite escalating geopolitical concerns, the dollar hasn't seen any major safe-haven buying, which makes gold even more attractive.

Despite global turmoil, inflation to stay below 4% target: MPC member

Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel New Delhi: A worsening geopolitical situation since the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting earlier this month has heightened the upside risk to India's inflation trajectory, on account of increases in oil and fertiliser prices , said Ram Singh, a member on the despite the upside risks, he expects the Consumer Price Index (CPI)-based inflation to stay below the 4% target."This (geopolitical situation) can put pressure on the INR, adding to the risk of imported inflation. To address unexpected developments on the external front, we adjusted our stance to neutral. Moreover, our foreign exchange reserves (about $700 billion) provide a significant cushion," Singh told by the World Bank forecast and the S&P commodities index, global commodity prices are expected to remain stable, except for gold and oil, he said."Food inflation is also likely to follow a downward trajectory. All considered, I expect CPI inflation to stay below the target level of 4%," said Singh, who is director of the Delhi School of retail inflation hit a 75-month low of 2.8% in May, driven down by a steep fall in food said the Reserve Bank of India has a range of monetary, liquidity, regulatory and forex market tools at its disposal to maintain macroeconomic and financial stability in an unlikely scenario of a deteriorating geopolitical situation causing stress on the financial market and putting pressure on the June 6, the RBI governor Sanjay Malhotra -headed six-member MPC reduced the lending rate by 50 basis points (bps), taking the total reduction to 100 bps in 2025 so far. It also changed the policy stance to neutral from accommodative.A basis point is a hundredth of a percentage said he did not believe the monetary policy had moved too quickly over the past six months or so, at a time of increasing global uncertainty. "There was a need for a big cut. Demand for mid-size housing and urban consumption remains subdued. Private investment also remains tepid, despite the massive capex undertaken by the Centre. The capex to net surplus from operations ratio remains below the pre-Covid had backed the rate cut, as per the minutes of the MPC released last also pointed out that given the headline inflation forecast of 3.7% for 2025-26, at the current policy rate (6%), the real repo rate turns out to be 2.3%, significantly higher than what would qualify as a growth-supportive to the Covid-19 effect, the average r* (r-star or neutral real interest rate) estimated for India had increased to 1.65% for the fourth quarter of 2023-24 from 1.2% for the third quarter of 2021-22, he said."Now that the Covid-specific factors - elevated public debt and pent-up demand - are behind us, the neutral rate has likely headed toward pre-Covid levels. This gives us scope for a 75 bps rate cut in this cycle," Singh reasoned."Factoring in the global economic and geopolitical uncertainty, a 50-basis-point rate cut in this cycle was reasonable and highly desirable," he said, adding that limited space for rate cuts does not mean that no more rate cuts are possible in this further said, "Having reduced the repo rate by 100 bps, we must carefully assess the macroeconomic situation for additional cuts before proceeding with further cuts, given the elevated risks emerging in the external sector."On the surge in bond yields after the MPC's decision, he said a part of the elevated bond yields for 10-year and longer-duration treasury bonds partly reflect the strong prospects for future GDP (gross domestic product) growth."The overall steepening of the yield curve is also a reflection of the bond market's overreaction to the change in the stance," he said, adding that the bond market would prefer a situation where it can expect more rate cuts. An alternative course would have been a staggered rate cut, but given the subdued credit growth rate and private capex, it would have further delayed the materialisation of demand and investment decisions in anticipation of future cuts."By contrast, a front-loaded 50-bps cut in the policy rate is likely to help achieve the twin objectives of supporting demand and growth by reducing the cost of funds for borrowers," he said, pointing out that since the MPC decision there has been some (about $5 billion) outflows by foreign institutional investors from the bond market, resulting in hardening of yields and steepening of the yield curve."Our rate cut decision is fully justified, coming on the back of strong fundamentals and a stable outlook on the domestic fronts, including fiscal prudence and a benign inflation forecast," Singh said.

Most expensive iPhone is made for just Rs 42000 but Apple sells it for Rs 1.32 lakh due to...

iPhone price in India New Delhi: American tech giant Apple sells its iPhones in various models at premium prices, but did you know that the actual manufacturing cost of these devices is significantly lower? Last year, the most expensive models were iPhone 16 series and iPhone 16 Pro Max. But have you ever wondered how much it actually costs to make this phone that sells for lakhs? In this article, we will tell you the cost of making these handsets. When the actual cost is so low, you might wonder why Apple charges more than double the price from customers. Today, we're going to tell you about the manufacturing cost of the iPhone 16 Pro Max. In fact, shortly after this phone was launched last year, a report was released revealing details about its manufacturing cost. Manufacturing Cost of iPhone 16 Pro Max The Bill of Materials (BOM) cost of the iPhone 16 Pro Max is USD 485 (approximately Rs 41,992 or Rs 42,000), according to market research firm TD Cowen. The report also stated that this is slightly higher than the cost of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which was USD 453 (around ₹39,222). Why does a phone made for Rs 41,000 sell for over a lakh? It's important to note that the BOM only includes the cost of raw materials and assembly. The final retail price also factors in expenses like software development, marketing, and logistics, which significantly increase the overall cost. Currently, the 256GB variant of the iPhone 16 Pro Max is being sold on Flipkart for Rs 1,32,900. Check Key Details Here: The higher cost of the iPhone 16 Pro Max compared to the iPhone 15 Pro Max is due to the upgraded hardware components used in the handset. The display and rear camera system of the iPhone 16 Pro Max are the two most expensive parts, costing around ₹6,700. In comparison, these parts in the iPhone 15 Pro Max cost Rs 6,300 and Rs 5,900 respectively. The introduction of new LPDDR5X RAM technology has also added to the total cost With the RAM in the iPhone 16 Pro Max priced at Rs 1,400, whereas the older LPDDR5 RAM in the iPhone 15 Pro Max cost only Rs 1,000. The A18 Pro chipset and storage in the iPhone 16 Pro Max cost Rs 3,400 and Rs 1,900 respectively. Even after accounting for logistics and software development, Apple maintains a healthy gross margin and earns a significant profit on each model of the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
