- PhonePe is projected to file its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) by August, with plans for a listing later this year.
- This IPO signifies PhonePe's shift from a high-growth startup to a publicly traded firm following its restructuring into a public limited company in April 2025.
- Founded in 2016 and originally based in Singapore, PhonePe later relocated its headquarters to India in 2022 to enable regulatory compliance and facilitate an IPO on Indian exchanges.
- PhonePe has now legally transferred the ownership of its IndusOS Appstore to India as part of its IPO arrangements.

Middle East tensions could unleash a 2-part worst-case scenario that hits stocks, Morgan Stanley says
- Tensions between Israel and Iran could lead to a worst-case scenario for stocks according to Morgan Stanley.
- Morgan Stanley highlighted the risk of oil prices spiking near the end of the business cycle due to Middle East tensions.
- Oil prices surged during the Israel-Iran conflict but have since decreased after the cease-fire.
- A significant increase in oil prices could pose a threat to the business cycle and stocks.
- Morgan Stanley's bear case scenario includes two key parts that significantly increase market risks.
- The first part involves oil prices rising at least 75% year-over-year, potentially reaching $120 per barrel.
- This would likely require sustained disruption to oil supply, notably in the Strait of Hormuz.
- Oil prices have dropped from last year's highs and are currently trading lower than the recent spike.
- The second part of the scenario requires the oil spike to occur late in the business cycle, historically leading to recessions.
- Morgan Stanley acknowledges the negative impact of spiraling oil prices but it is not their base case scenario currently.
- Despite geopolitical risks, Morgan Stanley remains positive on stocks, noting historical post-conflict market performance.
- Other forecasters like JPMorgan and Apollo Global Management have also discussed potential effects of oil price spikes on the economy.
