India's equity markets are reacting to daily West Asia news with no clear direction, and the macroeconomic consequences of the ongoing conflict are being underestimated, according to Sanjeev Prasad of Kotak Institutional Equities. Prasad outlines two scenarios: a 'bad' scenario with oil at $85/barrel leading to 2% CAD and 4.5-5% inflation, and an 'ugly' scenario with $100/barrel crude pushing CAD to 2.5%, fiscal deficit above 4.5%, and inflation to 5.5%+.
