  • Goldman Sachs Cuts India Nifty Year-End Target by 14% as $100 Oil Pressures Earnings
    April 14, 2026, 4:32 AM EDT. Goldman Sachs has slashed its 2026 earnings growth forecast for India to 8% from 16%, triggering a 14% cut in the Nifty year-end target. The surge in crude oil prices above $100 per barrel, driven by tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, has exacerbated pressures on India's market. Sachin Jasuja of Centricity WealthTech said the earnings story was already weakening before oil spiked, emphasizing that elevated energy costs are squeezing margins across sectors, from factories to agriculture. Rising inflation, expected at 4.6%, may prompt the Reserve Bank of India to hike rates further, hurting interest-sensitive sectors. Structural changes from the new Income Tax Act 2025 add to headwinds. With foreign investment at a 15-year low, market stability hinges increasingly on domestic retail investors.
