Market Commentary
What everyone’s missing is that NBFC valuations are dangling on a thin thread. After “Time to be selective in NBFCs as earnings premium shrinks: Viral Shah” (The Times of India), complacent yield hunters still pile into top-line darlings without stress-testing loan books or leverage. If you’re not dialing into distribution stability, you’re flirting with disaster.
Here’s a thesis nobody’s bold enough to say: the job-loss fears in “‘Common sense says if AI can do human jobs, there will be job losses’” (BusinessLine) and the cartel chaos after “With ‘El Mencho’ killed, what’s next for Mexico and the Jalisco cartel?” (Al Jazeera English) both signal mounting volatility in real and political risk. Tech disruption and underworld power vacuums are two sides of the same coin—prepare for sudden sell-offs.
The only play is action-oriented: anchor capital in names with predictable distributions, hedge emerging market exposure, and pack on covered-call sleeves ahead of any volatility spike. That way, you lock in yield no matter which headline jolts the tape.
