Public sentiment is mixed regarding the Iran-Israel conflict's effect on oil markets, oscillating between anxiety over rising prices and skepticism toward government narratives about oil dependency. Users express frustration about potential financial strains from gas price hikes, while others focus on optimistic investment opportunities, showcasing a divide between concern over economic stability and a desire for transparency from political leaders.

I personally don’t think solar energy/EVs etc. are here to stay- atleast for the long-term (this opinion has hardly anything to do with the rest of the comment so take it with a pinch of salt). Unpredictability in climate is the #1 reason + lack of batteries to effectively store renewable energy. I have no memory of pre-June rains in Mumbai prior to this year. 

With our country’s focus on national sovereignty (increasing manufacturing within this), the occurrence of war (I’d definitely drop some money on defence), an energy source reliant on our weather conditions wouldn’t really make the cut. For the short-mid term (maybe long depending on circumstances) though, energy is my favourite bet. I’d trust NTPC, any infra providers like L&amp;T, Adani/Reliance green and perhaps Tata power (our future oligarchs should India become like our brics buddies). Do remember, India is a nuclear country; and ways to synthesise nuclear energy safely are always around the corner.

India still relies on coal for 75% of its energy based productivity, so coal, oil, your other traditional sources of energy are going nowhere. I remember reading articles about opec countries panic selling oil quite recently, and suddenly all of that murmur has vanished. As long as oil exists, wars between gulf countries that inevitably raise the price of oil will exist. 

The govt. pushing sovereign green bonds the way they are, the emphasis on energy in the union budget, I can’t understate enough how important energy is to us right now- this could be my Bitcoin 2013 haha. If you made it this far into my rambling sesh, many thanks.

Please don't go by the news. Big fishes want you go by news. They are the ones that control both media and market.

“200 dollars a barrel easily.” Yeah fucking right!

China is the biggest importer of oil from Iran.

This will affect them directly. I don't think the US will shed a tear for Iran or China.

Economic containment of these countries is highlighted in the playbook.

Really good comment on Veriten COBT this week: “Supply issues tend to be transitory; it’s demand fundamentals that tend to drive price longer term

dbolts1234

If I recall correctly there was a hacker group that shutdown about a quarter of gas stations in Iran either earlier this year or late last year. They told the Iranians they could shut all of them down if they wanted to.  That alone would cripple Iran internally.  I think the group was in Israel.

ParallaxRay

Iran is on its knees. Wipe out their oil and gas infra and hammer their rockets and that economy is going to bomb. The people of Iran will do the rest.

[deleted]

They should take out the oil fields and nuclear sites.

Woedon

Bought OXY last week figured it was a good play since next step after Lebanon was cutting off Iran’s cash flow via oil refineries.

Panik sells clickbait. Every regards have a goldfish memory it seems

RealBaikal

People in this thread are forgetting that oil facilities across the Middle East will blow up n a scenario where Iran's oil facilities are attacked.

They have their missiles aimed at infrastructure across KSA and gulf countries. Not to mention the blockade they can impose on the region by letting the houthis run hog wild.

mustafao0

US would never let Israel do this, politicians in the US government play like they don’t get asked for approval of Israeli military action but I can guarantee you they’re not doing shit without getting the green light from the pentagon first.

We're not even dependent on their oil, at all. Neither is the rest of the world.

CaptBreeze

Get those wind turbines built, solar parking canopies , chargers and EVs going in the US. 

Screw the Russians and their Iranian friends, even better screw all their friends .

That would be real energy independence, if petroleum goes  up in the  US  because Israel attacks a terrorist state, then the people who raise the prices are economic terrorists. 

What happened to the free world and mitigating the cost of evil to the good citizens of our planet ?

As blunt as it sounds , tensions in the Middle East have been always a buying opportunity. The market already bounced back .

The most immediate effect is taking away the OP's ability to capitalise.

Just add it to the pile of shit that won't change anything because the money getting printed and going to the 1% has gotta be shoved somewhere

I think we're living in a time where people are so use to living through extreme global events that it has finally stopped effecting the stock market. Everything wobbles a bit but it recovers. We're pretty much getting some kind of crazy once in a life time bad news on the weekly rn

Upstairs_Reality_225

The last few years the market has faced multiple challenges and just keeps going up. A fews years back, this may have caused a dip in the market but not anymore. I don’t think things are going to change anytime soon unless something serious happens like Iran decides to drop a nuke (which i doubt they are even capable of)

Right now, I'd be wondering who's going to press the big red button first?

* Putin - unstable dictator
* Trump - unstable wanna-be dictator
* Netanyahu - power hungry but-fuck buddy of Trump

It's pretty clear that the USA is about to get involved in the fight against Iran. There's every indication that they'll be dropping some bombs in the next 24-48h.  If Iran then fires everything they've got on Israel, it'll be all Israel needs to set their nukes free.  Then we're all fucked.

How the hell the stock markets haven't got the jitters I dunno.

Cultural_Hamster_362

Is it antisemitic to say it's bad? Sorry in advance.

Normal-Knowledge4857

Oil prices rising = rising inflation on food/goods.

Equals interest rates going up.

Known-Cloud200

Short-term traders (who are good at it) like volatility because it's an opportunity to make money.

Long-term investors (who have the right temperament) like volatility because it's an opportunity to buy good companies at lower prices.

If attacks on oil infrastructure ramp up and worst case scenario of prolonged conflict, oil goes to 120-130 USD a barrel according to JP Morgan. 

You could probably add 1.5/2 to global inflation in a bad scenario, which puts things back out of target range and into multiple rate hike territory.

A moderate conflict is a 100 basis points of inflation and we are probably also out of target and rate hikes are back on the table. 

Regardless of a light or moderate scenario, the geopolitical dislocation is vast. China has a growing dependance on 'cheap' Iranian oil to work their way back to strong growth. 

You will see more pressure to put embargos and sanctions on Israel, which we will have some investment in via super. 

It's more negative than positive to be honest. Just how negative depends on how serious it gets for how long.

Internal-Ad7642

I was expecting to see the market drop this week....another mystery. 
Still keeping 30% of my Superannuation in fixed interest and cash for the next 6 mths. I do feel we'll have another April 7th before year end

Calm-Drop-9221

Doomsday clock is at 89. Highest it's been.

Still I don't see nukes flying anytime soon. The "omgz, WW3 is looming" is just the latest FUD imo.

No-Beginning-4269

NorthKoreaPresident

The events of the last half year or so plus the pandemic recovery make me think there's something to the theory that the huge volume of money being constantly invested globally via superannuation/retirement accounts irrespective of any global events has broken the stockmarket and decoupled it from any fundamentals.


The fact is that this money is being directed *somewhere*, and it's ultimately driving the market upwards constantly.


Which isn't to say that the market can't suffer a downturn, but it might go some way to explaining the ridiculous bull run that's basically lasted over a decade since the GFC.

Infant Indian markets May even do well because of FII's intrest and our defence stocks going up. Gifty also shows strength right now  !

King_of_typos31

Indian market hardly went down 2 3 percent even when we had a conflict with Pak. 
Abhi to we are not even directly involved.
Dont worry, keep buying good stocks every dip.


When everyone panics - buy

You may find some pressure for 2~3 days in our market and after that it will be fine. India will be the least affected in global markets.

It is Israel which can inflict huge blows on Iran but all Iran can do is fire ballistic missiles for which Israel is prepared. It will get settled very soon.

Radiant_Trip_2865

All depends on the price of Crude. Heard Iran is going to block Strait of Hormuz.

Assiduous8829

Markets will still go up. Use the volatility to accumulate strong stocks.

moneymagnet98

The most it will impact is the crude oil prices directly impacting the petroleum stocks and to some extent aviation sector as well. But the extent is still not clear.

Bringha-Oasis

20000? I don’t think so! No need to panic! Think long term and buy on dips.

sumitmirpuri04

Because Israel attacked Iran and Iran attacked Israel back, our big companies like HDFC bank , Reliance will suddenly stop doing business? 

That’s the only time when body will go below 20k in a matter of days. 

Unless there is a nuclear strike of sorts; nifty won’t fall that fast.

VimalChhadva

Nifty did not react much during the Indo-Pak clash recently. So I don't think there will be much impact.

retiredalavalathi

War is leading to oil prices going up, and that's bad for india

Adorable-Grand68

It will affect for a maximum of 1 week. Later all markets will forget to find other reasons.

PowerofCompounding

Ta-35 index is up 0.5% in intraday. Crude might spike, we might not have that much volatility.
