Motilal Oswal Report

We analyse the price movements of key commodities and identified companies from our coverage universe that can benefit or be impaired by movements in commodity prices.

  • Crude oil prices have started to cool off from its recent highs after the start of Russia-Ukraine conflict. However, it historically remains at elevated levels. With a fall in crude oil prices, even crude-based derivatives have started to follow suit. The whole commodity basket fell 6.1% sequentially in Q2 FY23 till date.

  • Companies raised prices multiple times in the past few quarters to combat the commodity inflation, which affected demand, especially in discretionary categories.

  • We expect gross margin to remain under pressure in the near term as companies are sitting on inventories purchased at higher costs, which will get consumed in the near term.
