It is the ETF flows that are taking the markets lower, according to A Balasubramanian of Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC. He made these comments in an interaction with BloombergQuint.

Here are some of the other key takeaways from the interaction:

  • The oil dynamic is changing more towards $30-40/barrel kind of range.
  • With oil price being so low, if U.S. shale gas goes out of business because of high costs, we could probably see a recessionary trend globally.
  • From India's perspective, the low oil prices may be an opportunity.
  • The bigger issue for Indian markets is the ETF flows, which are taking the markets down. The ETF selloff in my view may not last for too long, which in turn, will bring back some stability.
  • Having seen such a sharp fall, one must consider lump sum investment over SIPs.
