Stay Selective, No Heroics: Alpha Grep's Ambani on Market Amid US-Iran Tensions

• Bhautik Ambani of Alpha Grep advises investors to be selective, not heroic, in the current market due to US-Iran tensions and high oil prices.
• Recommends a conservative asset allocation: 25% equities, 30% gold, and 45% fixed income, prioritizing survival over chasing returns.
• Favors energy, defence, and pharma sectors for stability and hedge; cautions against aviation, OMCs, and crude-sensitive plays.
• Warns of a possible 5% market correction if sustained high oil prices or FII selling continues, noting the recent bounce is a pause.
• Highlights oil's immediate impact on India (inflation, rupee) and President Trump's unpredictability as key volatility triggers.
