Watch | A war trade will be on oil and not on gold, says Rohit Srivastava
Indiacharts and Strike Money founder Rohit Srivastava said gold may not sustain sharp gains despite geopolitical uncertainty, as it typically rallies briefly before correcting. He believes oil offers a stronger trading opportunity, noting that WTI crude has broken above the $70.5 per barrel resistance level. If prices hold above this mark and tensions escalate, oil could potentially move toward $100 per barrel, making energy markets the primary focus during conflict-driven volatility.

Indian markets fell sharply as US-Israel strikes on Iran triggered geopolitical tensions, pushing crude oil higher and weakening the rupee.

Sen remains cautious on the sector over the next three to six months but maintains a constructive long-term view on Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) and city gas distributors.
