Oil Prices Outlook Weak | ONGC, HPCL And OMC Stocks Look Attractive

With oil prices remaining largely stable over the past few years, the oil and gas sector has stayed under the radar despite global uncertainties. While geopolitical tensions and occasional supply-related concerns continue to cause short-term nervousness, the long-term outlook for crude oil remains bearish, driven by the rise of renewable energy, electric vehicles and structural shifts in global demand. Oil marketing companies are expected to benefit from lower crude prices over the long term, while exploration companies like ONGC appear attractively valued despite a muted outlook for oil prices. Positive developments in overseas assets and steady earnings visibility over the next 2–3 years add to the investment case. Among OMCs, HPCL stands out as the most attractively valued stock. The key question remains: is this a value opportunity or a sector best approached with caution?

Gold, Silver Hit Fresh Record Highs On MCX | Investment Strategy In Gold & Silver

The bull run in precious metals shows no signs of slowing down, with both MCX Gold and MCX Silver hitting fresh record highs. Silver surged by ₹7,000 to trade near ₹2.82 lakh per kilo, while gold jumped ₹600 to around ₹1.43 lakh, marking yet another milestone in their ongoing rally. Even as equity markets remain sluggish, gold and silver continue to outperform, driven by global uncertainty and sustained investor demand. Sharad Avasthi, Head of Research (PCG), SMIFS caution, however, that while momentum remains strong, replicating such sharp returns over the next few months may be challenging. Historically, silver has seen powerful rallies followed by steep corrections, and at current levels, the risk-reward equation appears stretched. Gold too may struggle to move significantly higher unless geopolitical tensions escalate further. In this discussion, we analyse what’s driving the surge, the risks involved, and whether investors should remain cautious at record-high levels.
