π Five Catalysts to Watch β Week of June 29
- π’οΈ Crude oil stability: Brent at $72.68 pre-war low. Every $5 fall in Brent saves India ~βΉ50,000 crore in import bill annually. If Brent holds below $75, expect sustained buying in aviation, auto, paints, and OMCs. IndiGo already surged 4.6%.
- π€ India-US trade deal: Rising expectations of an interim deal are making markets cautious but optimistic. Tariff reduction from 50% to 18% on Indian pharma and textiles already announced. A formal deal would be a 500+ point Sensex rally trigger.
- π¦ RBI liquidity: RBIβs βΉ1.41L crore VRR injection at 5.26% β banking sector tailwind. HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, SBI all positioned to benefit.
- π US data (July 1): ADP jobs + ISM Manufacturing. Weak ADP = less Fed hike risk = global risk-on = FII buying India.
- π§οΈ Monsoon watch: IMD tracking below-normal rainfall. A weak monsoon raises food CPI risk and could delay RBI rate cuts. Watch weekly rainfall data closely.
