A PRIL - J U NE, 2015

MARKET OVERVIEW

Indian equity markets continued their positive streak during the quarter
Markets remained volatile during the quarter due to key events like Union Budget, RBI policy action and monetary actions by
ECB and US Fed. The Q3 corporate results turned out to be a disappointment which further added to market volatility
Large Caps outperformed both Mid Caps and Small Caps during the quarter
Union Budget for FY 16 was presented in the back drop of huge expectations. The Union Budget was a step in the right
direction by boosting infrastructure investments, encouraging financial savings, taking measures to ease business and
maintaining fiscal credibility in the medium term
We are positive on the equity markets on the back of reforms push agenda of the government, improving macro domestic
& external factors and likely re-rating of India
RBI also provided couple of off-cycle rate cuts (in Jan & Mar) of 25 bps each driven by strong disinflationary force and
expectation of better than reported fiscal consolidation
We maintain our outlook on Indian equity markets of Marginal Overweight. Investors can accumulate equities from a 3 to 5
year perspective
Bond yields could fall further in the medium to long term on the back of decline in inflation
Investors with an investment horizon of at least 18 to 24 months can look at investing in long term income, gilt and dynamic
bond funds
Short term income funds can be recommended for investors with an investment horizon of at least 12 to 18 months
We are positive from a medium to long term perspective with a pro-active inflation targeting RBI and a credible government
at the Centre

EQUITY MARKET OUTLOOK & RECOMMENDATIONS


Equity markets continued to track both domestic and global cues during the quarter
As per the Economy Survey 2015, India is in a sweet spot due to lower deficits and high growth. It projected Indias GDP for FY 16 in
the range of 8.1-8.5%. As per IMF, India is poised to be the fastest growing economy in the world overtaking China
Inflation (CPI: 5.37%) was also within RBIs Jan 2016 CPI target of 6%
Globally, ECB started its Quantitative Easing (QE) programme in March to arrest slide in growth and inflation in the Euro Zone. US Fed in its
recent minutes signalled that it is likely to raise interest rates at some point in 2015
With the major event of Budget behind, the Govt is likely to take steps such as implementation of GST, plugging the subsidy leakages using
Adhaar and Direct Benefit Transfer, enhance industrialization etc. to steer the economy on growth path
SEBIs reforms to allow raising municipal bonds, conversion of bad loans into equity would help deepen the financial markets and attract more
foreign inflows in the country
The next event lined up for the markets is Q4FY15 results and guidance (if any) given by the corporates about future. We expect the Q4 results
to be muted and ~20% CAGR growth over next 2 years
We maintain our outlook of Marginal Overweight on Indian markets. At current levels we recommend accumulating equities with a 3 to
5 year investment perspective
Large Cap, Diversified equity and Mid and small cap mutual funds are advisable

INVESTMENT PERSPECTIVES APRIL, 2015

DEBT AND MACROECONOMIC UPDATE


Lower crude prices improve macros: limits CAD, eases subsidy burden and keeps inflation benign

INFLATION

INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION

RBI cuts off-cycle again: Repo rate lowered by


25 bps to 7.50%

IIP growth in FY15 (YTD January) at 2.5% despite


Consumer Durables segment contracting 14%

CPI inflation though rises marginally in February, contained


at 5.4% YoY, Core inflation remains flat at 4.2%
Adoption of monetary policy framework with inflation at
4% +/-2%: Gradual decline over next 2 years, if realised,
allows room for further cuts

Improvement in Basic Goods (especially electricity) and


Capital Goods support growth

INVESTMENT PERSPECTIVES APRIL, 2015

DEBT AND MACROECONOMIC UPDATE

CURRENT ACCOUNT
DEFICIT

Q3 CAD at 1.6% of GDP on increase in services


surplus and lower investment outflow

Lower cost of oil (net) imports matched by


increased gold imports in Q3. Increase in
banking capital drives BOP surplus
Low trade deficit for Jan and Feb at USD 7.3bn
and USD 6.8bn, respectively, suggests a marginal
CAD in Q3 given exports spike in March

FISCAL DEFICIT

Passage of Insurance, Coal and Minerals related bills


sets Govts reforms ball rolling
Fiscal deficit target at 3.9% though higher than fiscal
consolidation path; higher capital expenditure and support
for reforms augurs well for Indias rating quality and rates
positives

INVESTMENT PERSPECTIVES APRIL, 2015

10

DEBT AND MACROECONOMIC UPDATE

INR

Excessively strong INR also likely to have played


a part in RBIs unscheduled easing
One measure sees INR as strong as in Apr 2013,
ahead of taper led sell-off

INVESTMENT PERSPECTIVES APRIL, 2015

DEBT AND MACROECONOMIC UPDATE

DEBT MARKET OUTLOOK


AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Yields on benchmark 10 yr paper (8.40% 2024) found support at 7.65%-7.70% despite the surprise rate cut by RBI
PSU banks were seen selling paper, while there was limited interest from other traders in current year
GOI carried out debt switch with FY16 paper on RBI balance sheet. Limited OMO sale stock (FY17 and 18 papers only just enough for debt switch)
increase longer run supply
GOI H1 issuance calendar is at Rs. 3.6 tn, with higher supply of long end paper. 40 year paper sale is envisioned
Further cuts of 25-50 bps are likely in FY16, subject to continued reforms, progress on high quality consolidation, pass- through of past rate cuts, a
supportive monsoon and stable external conditions
Liquidity is likely to remain neutral in Q4, as RBI FX intervention is matched by government cash absorption to meet fiscal targets, as well as by seasonal
currency leakages. Liquidity is expected to improve sharply in mid Q1 2015, requiring RBI to absorb this through OMO sales
Despite the higher fiscal deficit announced in the Budget, the net borrowings for FY16 remain largely flat. The demand- supply dynamics for G-Secs
looks favourable for FY 16
Yields may be range bound in the near term. However, we are positive from a medium to long term perspective with a pro-active inflation targeting
RBI and a credible government at the Centre
Investors who have an investment horizon of at least 18 to 24 months can look at investing in long term income and gilt funds and dynamic bond funds
Investors can look at short term income funds with an investment horizon of at least 12 to 18 months
Short term funds, via active fund management, can take advantage of current yields by investing in G-Secs, corp. bonds, CPs & CDs to gain from high
accruals & capital appreciation, if any

INFLATION - CPI

GDP revision aligns methodology to international standard

Base year revised to 2011-12 (New Series) from


previous 2004-05 (Old Series)
GDP growth now refers to growth in GDP (GVA +
Indirect taxes) at Market Prices compared to growth in
GVA (Gross Value Added) in Old Series
Absolute GDP revised lower in New Series for FY12 to
FY14, however, growth rates move up
New Series has increased coverage of companies and
incorporation of results of latest surveys on
Consumption, Employment, Economic units, and Debt
FY15 growth in New Series at 7.4% (Advance

consumption pattern of 2012)
Weight of food in New Series lower at 45.9% (compared
to 47.6% in Old Series), Fuel & Light lower at 6.8% (9.5%
in OS) while that of Services is higher at 28.3% (26.3% in OS)

by capturing shift to consuming lower variety products
during periods of price spikes
Headline Inflation reading lower in New Series in Dec 14
at 4.3% YoY (compared to 4.9% in Old series) primarily
due to lower inflation in Housing segment
