How to Read the CSE Now: Markets, Margins & the Rupee

A falling ASPI, a weaker rupee, pricier oil — and how all of it eventually lands in company earnings.

With Shivaine & Sajed · CAL

The ASPI has come off about 11% since February. Oil ran past $100 a barrel before settling back around $85, and the rupee is close to 10% weaker than it was. Every one of those numbers eventually lands somewhere in a company's accounts — and in this episode, Shivaine and Sajed from our team sit down to work through where.

What they get into

  • Why a broad market fall produces very different outcomes depending on what a company sells and what it spends on.
  • How rupee depreciation reaches the top line of a dollar-earning business, and how far down it travels.
  • Where higher energy costs and higher rates are doing the most damage to margins.
  • What the June quarter earnings are likely to confirm, and what remains a wait-and-see.
  • Why choosing the share inside the sector is the harder half of the work.
  • How to think about a nine-to-twelve-month horizon while the geopolitical picture is still unsettled.

Under the Hood is CAL's podcast — candid conversations with the people inside the firm on markets, money, and the work behind it all.
