A report by OmniScience Capital says global geopolitical tensions, elevated oil prices and the prospect of further US rate hikes could keep Indian equities under pressure in October, even as festive demand (Navratri, Dussehra, Durga Puja) could lift consumption-linked stocks like consumer staples, durables and automobiles. Financial services, banks, NBFCs and housing finance could also see demand spiking. The report says the September sell-off was not India-centric and advises watching the RBI MPC meeting, interest-rate trajectory and liquidity. It flags the ongoing US-Iran war as a risk to crude oil, and suggests equities should be slightly overweight tactically. Sectors like PSU/private banks, power, housing finance, infra, EPC, logistics and business services look attractive for 3–5 years.
