Oil may hit $180, market can fall 10% if Strait of Hormuz stays shut for 10 more days: Demeter
Ashwini Agarwal, Founder & Partner at Demeter Advisors, told CNBC-TV18 that if the Strait of Hormuz remains shut for another 10 days, crude oil prices could surge to around $180 per barrel and global markets, including India, may fall about 10%. He said this is a low-probability scenario but investors should remain mentally prepared for such risks as tensions in West Asia continue to impact global energy supply and financial markets. Once tensions ease, financial stocks could lead the market recovery as they have been among the hardest hit but are less directly affected by the Middle East conflict.

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. He noted that the base case remains that the tensions may not stretch for a long period. The situation could last for a few weeks or possibly a month, but may not drag on for much longer. If that plays out, crude prices could reverse just as quickly as they moved up. Despite the uncertainty, he believes current market levels offer reasonable entry points as the earnings cycle remains supportive. His fund has been adding exposure to a real estate company and increasing weights in select private banks, IT services firms and a cement player.

Ambit Investment Managers’ Managing Director Dhiraj Agarwal says emerging markets are in a risk-off phase due to Middle East tensions, a stronger dollar and rising crude prices. India, highly dependent on oil imports, is particularly vulnerable. He sees a very high probability of a 10% market correction, with a deeper 15–20% fall possible if crude stays elevated. Agarwal remains cautious on IT due to AI disruption and expects consumer staples to face long-term valuation derating.
