Over the last few weeks, the conflict in the Middle East between the US, Israel, and Iran has continued longer than expected. What may seem like a geopolitical event is already having real economic consequences.

This episode of Open Dialogue focuses on the economic side of the conflict. From the risk of disruption in the Strait of Hormuz to the possibility of a global energy shortfall, the conversation unpacks how closely the world economy is tied to this region.

But this is not just about oil prices today.

A potential supply shock can ripple through supply chains, impact global growth, and influence inflation, currencies, and trade balances. For India, this raises important questions around energy security, the current account deficit, and overall economic stability.

Speakers –

Sameer Shetty: Group Executive, Digital Banking & Strategic Programs, Axis Bank

Neelkanth Mishra: Chief Economist, Axis Bank & Head of Global Research, Axis Capital

In this conversation, we break down:

• Why a disruption in global energy flows can have outsized economic impact

• How crude oil shocks translate into inflation and growth risks

• What second-order effects mean for businesses and supply chains

• How India could be affected in the short and long term

This is a deeper look at the crude oil crisis and its broader implications, beyond headlines and immediate market reactions.

Watch the full episode to understand how global events translate into real economic impact.

Markets have been volatile for a while and have been moving ever so sharply since COVID. Commodities spike and correct. Bond yields behave counterintuitively. The rupee weakens. IPOs surge. However, despite all this turbulence, most asset classes are not collapsing.In this episode of Open Dialogue, Sameer Shetty speaks with Ashish Gupta, Chief Investment Officer, Axis Mutual Fund, to decode what market volatility really indicates for investors.Together, they discuss the IPO frenzy and listing reality, explaining why not all public offerings deliver long-term value. The conversation also dives into bond market behaviour. Why long-term yields are rising despite policy rate cuts, and what that signals about fiscal trends and demand-supply dynamics.The surge in gold and silver, the risks of speculative flows, and why industrial demand ultimately reshapes price trends are analysed. A thorough overview of real estate momentum, currency pressures driven by capital account shifts, and the evolving role of foreign investor flows also takes place.The conversation makes one thing clear: though the markets are volatile, it’s not irrational. Demand, supply, valuations, and capital flows explain far more than what emotion-driven narratives suggest.This episode offers a structured framework to understand today’s uncertainty and helps investors think rationally about diversification, risk, and long-term asset allocation in an environment that feels more chaotic than it actually is.Speakers:Sameer Shetty: Group Executive, Digital Banking & Strategic Programs, Axis BankAshish Gupta: Chief Investment Officer, Axis Mutual Fund🔔 Like, comment, and subscribe for more expert conversations on India’s economy and markets, only on Open Dialogue by Axis Bank.#OpenDialogue #MarketVolatility #SilverCrash #MacroEconomics #AssetAllocation #IPOInsights #Nifty #FIIOutflows #BondMarkets #InterestRates #GoldRally #Rupee #InvestingIndia #FinancialLiteracySUBSCRIBE TO US: https://www.youtube.com/@OpenDialogueByAxis Download Axis Bank App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.axis.mobileFor more informative videos and discussion on important topics related to Banking, finance & economics:LinkedIn - https://in.linkedin.com/company/axis-bank Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/opendialoguebyaxisbankFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/axisbank/Twitter - https://x.com/AxisBankCopyright:©Axis Bank Limited [2025].

Budget 2026 did not deliver big surprises, and that is exactly where this conversation begins. In this episode of Open Dialogue, the panel discusses why a predictable, “boring” Budget can be a positive signal, reducing uncertainty, lowering the long-term cost of capital, and improving confidence for businesses and investors.In this roundtable, Sameer Shetty, Neelkanth Mishra, and Ashish Gupta examine key themes from Budget 2026, including the end of sharp fiscal consolidation, the improving quality of government spending, and concerns around liquidity as large cash balances remain parked with the RBI. The discussion also explores market reactions, changes to Securities Transaction Tax, and why some headline numbers such as GST collections can be misleading due to accounting shifts rather than economic weakness.The conversation places the Budget in a wider context of global uncertainty, volatile commodity markets, capital flows, and monetary policy, focusing on what actually matters for growth, markets, and long-term economic stability. This episode looks beyond announcements to understand intent, trade-offs, and what to track going forward.Speakers:Sameer Shetty: Group Executive, Digital Banking & Strategic Programs, Axis BankNeelkanth Mishra: Chief Economist, Axis Bank & Head of Global Research, Axis CapitalAshish Gupta: Chief Investment Officer, Axis Mutual Fund🔔 Like, comment, and subscribe for more expert conversations on India’s economy and markets, only on Open Dialogue by Axis Bank.SUBSCRIBE TO US: https://www.youtube.com/@OpenDialogueByAxis Download Axis Bank App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/de...For more informative videos and discussion on important topics related to Banking, finance & economics:LinkedIn - https://in.linkedin.com/company/axis-bank Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/opendialoguebyaxisbankFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/axisbank/Twitter - https://x.com/AxisBankCopyright:©Axis Bank Limited [2025].

Bond yields quietly move economies. They influence everything from interest rates and inflation to market confidence and government spending. Yet few understand how this hidden force shapes economies and financial systems.In this episode of Open Dialogue, Sameer Shetty speaks with Ashish Gupta, Chief Investment Officer, Axis Mutual Fund, to decode the world of bond yields — what they are, how they work, and why they matter.Together, they explain the relationship between bond yields, interest rates, and inflation, explaining why markets often react before central banks do. The conversation explores the yield curve, inverted yield curve, and how these indicators reveal expectations about future growth or recession.They also discuss how yields connect to credit spreads, fiscal discipline, and financial stability, illustrating why governments, investors, and even central banks watch them closely. From the repo rate in India to the Fed rate in the US, the episode explains how policy decisions ripple through markets — influencing borrowing costs, equity performance, and the broader global economy.This discussion helps you see why bond markets are called the “plumbing” of modern finance and how market expectations reflected in yields can signal what’s next for economic growth.Speakers –Sameer Shetty: Group Executive, Digital Banking & Strategic Programs, Axis BankAshish Gupta: Chief Investment Officer, Axis Mutual Fund🔔 Like, comment, and subscribe for more insights on markets, interest rates, and the global economy — only on Open Dialogue by Axis Bank.#BondMarkets #FinanceExplained #OpenDialogue #AshishGupta #InterestRates #Inflation #YieldCurve #InvestingInsights #GlobalEconomy #MarketTrends #FinancialEducation #EconomicOutlook #MoneyMatters #financialliteracy SUBSCRIBE TO US: https://www.youtube.com/@OpenDialogueByAxis Download Axis Bank App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/de...For more informative videos and discussion on important topics related to Banking, finance & economics:LinkedIn - https://in.linkedin.com/company/axis-bank Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/opendialoguebyaxisbankFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/axisbank/Twitter - https://x.com/AxisBankCopyright:©Axis Bank Limited [2025].

The world economy is undergoing a seismic shift. After decades of globalization and interdependence, nations are redrawing the map of trade, capital, and technology. Welcome to the age of geoeconomic fragmentation — where economic alliances, supply chains, and financial systems are being reshaped by politics, security, and national priorities.In this episode of Open Dialogue, Sameer Shetty speaks with Neeraj Gambhir, Group Executive, Treasury, Markets & Wholesale Banking Products, Axis Bank. Together, they trace how post–World War II integration gave rise to today’s interconnected world and why that system is now being reimagined.They explore the evolution from Bretton Woods to WTO, the rise of the US dollar as the reserve currency, and how recent shocks have exposed the vulnerabilities of global interdependence. The discussion explores the weaponization of trade and payments, the resurgence of tariffs, and the push for onshoring critical industries like semiconductors, defense, and clean energy.Beyond global trends, the episode offers sharp insights into what investors, businesses, and policymakers should watch as the world transitions from “just-in-time” globalization to “just-in-case” resilience.Speakers –Sameer Shetty: Group Executive, Digital Banking & Strategic Programs, Axis BankNeeraj Gambhir: Group Executive, Treasury, Markets & Wholesale Banking Products, Axis Bank🔔 Like, comment, and subscribe for more insights on global economics, India’s strategic future, and the forces reshaping markets and trade.#GeoeconomicFragmentation #GlobalTrade #IndiaStrategy #DefenseSpending #SupplyChain #Semiconductors #EnergySecurity #Atmanirbhar #GoldRepatriation #Resilience #ReelCutsSUBSCRIBE TO US: https://www.youtube.com/@OpenDialogueByAxis Download Axis Bank App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/de...For more informative videos and discussion on important topics related to Banking, finance & economics:LinkedIn - https://in.linkedin.com/company/axis-bank Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/opendialoguebyaxisbankFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/axisbank/Twitter - https://x.com/AxisBankCopyright:©Axis Bank Limited [2025].

India’s tax landscape just changed in a big way. GST has been simplified with two main slabs, fewer inverted duties, and clearer pass-through to prices. What does this reset mean for inflation, demand, and growth?In this episode of Open Dialogue, Sameer Shetty speaks with Neelkanth Mishra, Chief Economist, Axis Bank & Head of Global Research, Axis Capital. They trace India’s journey from cascading indirect taxes to GST, why two slabs (5% and 18%) matter, and how rate rationalization can boost consumption without straining fiscal math.Within this framework, they unpack how input tax credit works at the invoice level, why inverted duty fixes reduce refunds and disputes, and how compliance data has unlocked MSME lending. The discussion also explores sector impacts and when consumers should expect genuine price pass-through.Beyond this, they examine what simpler GST means for competitiveness, logistics efficiency, and state finances as compensation cess sunsets. The episode closes with practical takeaways on pricing transparency, demand impulses, and the road to a cleaner, broader tax base.Speakers-Sameer Shetty: Group Executive, Digital Banking & Strategic Programs, Axis BankNeelkanth Mishra: Chief Economist, Axis Bank & Head of Global Research, Axis Capital🔔 Like, comment, and subscribe for more insights on GST, growth, and India’s evolving tax architecture.#GSTReform #IndianEconomy #FiscalDiscipline #ConsumptionBoost #TaxSimplification #MSME#Compliance #InvestmentCycle #Inflation #economicgrowth Chapters:0:00 - Introduction1:45 - History of Taxation in India13:30 - What are Direct and Indirect Taxes?20:09 - Monthly GST Collections25:54 - Innovations in GST48:30 - How the New Tax Structure is Helping Compliance1:00:54 - What Does This Mean for Inflation and Interest rates1:05:11 - What Does This Mean for the Indian Competitive Landscape 1:10:31 - Will Corporates Start Investing More?1:16:33 - ConclusionSUBSCRIBE TO US: https://www.youtube.com/@OpenDialogueByAxis Download Axis Bank App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/de...For more informative videos and discussion on important topics related to Banking, finance & economics:LinkedIn - https://in.linkedin.com/company/axis-bank Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/opendialoguebyaxisbankFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/axisbank/Twitter - https://x.com/AxisBankCopyright:©Axis Bank Limited [2025].
