Arun Patel on using ETFs to buy into market falls:
Business Standard

Blend core SIP strategy with dip-buying for tactical market gains.

Trading volumes in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) typically spike when the Nifty drops more than 1 per cent, according to media reports. This indicates that savvy investors use such declines as buying opportunities.

ETF advantage

ETFs are well-suited for dip-buying as they offer intraday liquidity. “Unlike mutual funds, which are priced only at day-end, ETFs trade in real time, allowing investors to act immediately during sharp intraday declines,” says Arun Patel, founder and partner, Arunasset Investment Services.

SDL-based STRIPS: Use for duration matching, not for tactical gains.

Starting June 12, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has permitted the use of the separate trading of registered interest and principal of securities (STRIPS) mechanism for State Development Loans (SDLs). It was earlier allowed for central government securities (G-Secs).

“This will enhance price discovery, deepen liquidity, and pave the way for a transparent zero-coupon yield curve in state debt,” says Vishal Goenka, cofounder, IndiaBonds.com.

Ankit Patel on Israel-Iran conflict and its impact on markets:
India Today

Why the Strait of Hormuz matters to India amid Israel-Iran tensions.

As Israel and Iran continue to launch missile and drone attacks on each other, there is growing concern that Iran could restrict or block access to the Strait of Hormuz—something it has threatened in the past. Even the fear of this happening can send shockwaves through oil markets and disrupt global trade.

Military tension also puts commercial ships at risk. Insurance premiums go up, companies reroute vessels, and shipping delays become more likely.

“The extent to which global powers can dissuade Iran from blocking this vital passage will determine the scale of impact on oil markets going forward. Even without further escalation, the geopolitical risk premium on oil is likely to persist,” said Ankit Patel, Partner at Arunasset Investment Services.

Markets are scared by Israel-Iran conflict, Sensex-Nifty fell, have you ever thought how much impact it will have on India?

The conflict in the Middle East has jolted global financial markets. Ankit Patel of Arunaset Investment Services says that the growing tension in the Strait of Hormuz in particular has posed a serious threat to global energy supply. This strait is the route through which about 20% of the world’s oil supply passes. Due to the growing crisis in this region, crude oil prices jumped by 12%, which is increasing the risk of inflation and current account deficit (CAD) for import-dependent countries like India.
