Crude-led volatility may be short-lived; Quantum AMC sees opportunities in banks, IT, cement, realty
George Thomas, Fund Manager – Equity at Quantum AMC, believes the recent jump in crude oil prices, triggered by geopolitical tensions, could temporarily push inflation higher and weigh on global macro conditions.
