Indiabulls has upgraded its rating on HPCL to ���buy��� to factor in the impact of falling crude oil prices and the depreciating rupee. ���At the cur-rent levels of crude oil prices and the exchange rate, we believe that BPCL will be able to generate profits,��� says the report.
The broking firm, however, acknowledges the fact that while crude oil prices have seen a sharp correction, the gains have been partially offset due to the depreciating rupee.
���The recent slide in the rupee has caused the break-even point to fall further, now estimated at around $60 per barrel at the current exchange rate. However, we believe that the rupee has depreciated primarily because of the heavy dollar outflows and should climb up in the near-to-medium term,��� says the report.
