Iran war going beyond four weeks from now could trigger global recession: Neelkanth Mishra
Neelkanth Mishra, Head of Global Research at Axis Capital and Chief Economist at Axis Bank, says the Iran conflict is a major macro risk for India given its heavy dependence on energy imports.

Axis Bank stock was trading at ₹1,221 at 9:37 am on the NSE, up over 16% in the past year.

Amid inflation, rising energy prices, and global shifts, Shah prefers value over growth and asset-heavy businesses. Commodity producers may benefit, while consumers like autos could face pressure.
