Dear Investor,
The Union Budget was a pragmatic one with the much needed thrust towards rural and infrastructure sectors, which needed support in
the backdrop of the slowdown witnessed in these sectors. The government committed close to Rs. 88,000 crores for the rural sector in
the Union Budget with an ambitious plan to double the income of farmers in 5 years. Some of the other key announcements include a
higher outlay for irrigation, substantial jump in fund allocation to Gram Panchayats for transformation of villages, 100per cent
electrification of villages by May 2018, higher outlay to MGNREGA and increased agriculture credit and interest subvention. There was
also importance given to infrastructure sector, with a higher outlay committed for roads and highways, on the back of an increased
outlay in the railway budget. This has come at a time when private sector capex has been quite subdued.
The government also maintained credibility by adhering to its fiscal deficit target of 3.5 per cent for FY17 The market had earlier
expected the government to defer the fiscal consolidation plan by a bit, to provide for increased expenditure as a result of the 7th pay
commission and OROP. This fiscal prudence has provided comfort to the bond markets with bond yields softening post the
announcement. It also sets the stage for a possible rate cut by the RBI in the near future, as adherence to fiscal consolidation plan was
one of the key guidance factors for further monetary easing by the central bank. Consumer inflation print for the month of January has
come below expectations at 5.18 per cent YoY for the month of January 2016, thereby increasing the odds of a rate cut. The net market
borrowing announced by the government in the budget came in below expectations at Rs. 4.25 lakh crores for FY17, compared to Rs. 4.4
lakh crores in FY16. This has also provided support to the bond markets and helped to allay some of supply-side concerns to some
extent.
The budget did not provide much for the corporate sector, which has been suffering from earnings contraction and downgrades over the
past few years. Although it lowered the tax rates for some smaller companies and new manufacturing companies, it did not lower the
corporate tax rateas was expected by the market. One positive factor was that the government did not hike the service tax rate, which
was broadly being expected to be increased to 16per cent in this budget. However, the dampener was the levy of a dividend distribution
tax of 10per cent for dividend income in excess of Rs. 10 lakhs. Besides that, surcharge was raised from 12 per cent to 15 per cent on
individuals having income greater than Rs. 1 crore. Also, the government introduced a Krishi Kalyan Cess, @ 0.5per cent on all taxable
services, w.e.f. 1 June 2016. Another drawback was the recapitalization plan of only Rs. 25,000 crores announced for the troubled PSU
banking sector, which was below market expectations of a Rs. 30,000-35,000 crores.
Going forward, the focus will shift again to corporate earnings and the global scenario, and markets will draw cues from that. Corporate
earnings are expected to pick-up more meaningfully in FY17 and the markets may start to move in anticipation if earnings recover along
expected lines. On the global front, major central banks continue to be in accommodative mode to help support the global economy,
which is witnessing some downside risks presently. The European Central Bank recently expanded its monetary stimulus and also cut
interest rates, and the Bank of Japan kept monetary policy steady after a surprise move of adopting negative interest rate policy in
January. As expected, the US Fed kept rates unchanged, and expectations of further rate hikes have been tempered down to 1-2 hikes,
compared to 3-4 hikes expected at the start of this calendar year.
In a nutshell, the performance of the Indian markets will be dependent on global risk appetite, sentiment, flows and how global
economic growth shapes up during the course of the year.

Macro Developments
All eyes would be on the month of March 2016 as central banks of
most of the major economies in the world are scheduled to have
their respective monetary policy meetings this month. Due to the
existing global turbulences, the outcome of these meetings
would be closely watched by the investors world-wide. European
Central Bank (ECB) in its recent statement has raised the tempo of
its QE (Quantitative Easing) to 80 billion euros per month effective
from April 2016. It was at 60 billion euros (per month) when it has
started this QE almost a year back to stimulate the euro areas
struggling economy. US has hiked its interest rates in the month
of December, 2015 while signalling at further rate hikes based on
the progress of its economy in the coming months. US economy is
believed to be on the growth path and so markets are eagerly
awaiting the outcome of the US fed meeting this month. Bank of
Japan (BoJ) in its monetary policy meeting this month has kept the
key rates unchanged. In a shocking event in the month of January
2016, BoJ has entered into a negative interest rate regime to spur
growth which was not readily accepted by the global markets.
Thus March 2016 would be under scanner for investors worldwide as the outcome of these monetary policy meetings of major
economies might have major impact on the global markets.
US:
With the rate hike announcement by the US Fed in the month of
December 2015, it had set the most awaited rate hike trend for
the US economy. This decision had a major impact on the global
markets and also resulted in the strengthening of US dollar
versus major currencies globally. During this historic
announcement, US Fed had hinted at future rate hikes based on
consistent growth the US economy in the coming months.
Some of the major factors considered to track US economic
growth are the Inflation, unemployment rate, consumer
spending, etc. The current unemployment in the US stands at
4.9 per cent in February 2016, unchanged from the January rate
but was at 5 per cent in the earlier months. Also the Initial claims
for state unemployment benefits declined 18,000 to a
seasonally adjusted 259,000 for the week ended March 5, 2016
and as per the Labour Department announcement; this is the
lowest reading since mid-October 2015. On the inflation aspect,
US Fed policy makers have been closely watching oil price
movements which have significant impact on the inflation in
the US economy. With global oil prices inching up in the last few
weeks, inflation moving back toward feds 2-percent target rate
seems to be possible as the input costs would move up. Added to
this, there seems to be an upward trend on the consumption
front. As per the Personal Income and Outlays report for
January 2016 released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis on in
the last week of February 2016, PCE Price Index in the United
States increased to 109.96 Index Points in January 2016 from
109.73 Index Points in December of 2015. As these factors which
might influence US feds rake hike decision augurs well for a
possible rate hike, US fed policy meeting scheduled this month
would be closely watched by the investors world wide.
Eurozone:
Developments in the euro zone are quickly taking toll on the
global markets. Eurozone has been struggling under sinking
economy and fears of deflation setting in. Adding to these,

alarmingly increasing refugee crisis in EU is becoming a cause of


concern for both european and global markets. As a part of the
measures taken to stimulate its economy, ECB (European Central
Bank) has started its quantitative easing program by buying 60
billion euros of assets on a monthly basis and in the month of
December, it has extended the QE period till March 2017. But in
the latest announcement by the ECB in March 2016, this QE
program has been increased to 80 billion euros which would start
in April 2016. ECB also has reduced its deposit rates from -0.2 per
cent to -0.3 per cent recently in Decmber 2015. But again it has
been further reduced to -0.4 per cent. Also to boost credit to
private sector, ECB had announced to conduct four new fundingfor-lending operations starting from June 2016. In its recent
statement, Mr. Mario Draghi, the banks president, has
mentioned that the risks to the EUs growth outlook were tilted
to the downside because of heightened uncertainties in the
world economy. In-line with this statement, the ECBs outlook for
real GDP growth has been revised slightly down to 1.4 per cent
compared to December 2015 projections of 1.7 per cent. Also on
the inflation front, ECBs projections of inflation for 2016 stands at
0.1 per cent which is slightly revised downwards compared to
December 2015 projections. These downward projections
signifies that EU along with other economies of the world remains
to be impacted by weak domestic and global economic growth.
Asia:
Japan's economy continues to be on a moderate recovery trend.
Bank Of Japan (BoJ) in its monetary policy meeting in March
2016,has held interest rates at minus 0.1 per cent. BoJ is still
grappling with the shock wave that it has sent across the world
due to its unprecedented landmark decision of entering into
negative interest rate zone that was announced in January 2015.
This decision has actually worked against BoJ, as the decision led
to financial trade unions scrapping their wage demands which is
counter productive for boosting inflation which is very much
required for Japanese economy at this juncture. Higher wages are
the fuel the BoJ needs for higher consumption and higher
inflation. Chinese economy continues to be struggling as its
industrial output has further slowed down and also exports fell
25.4 per cent in February 2016 compared to 11.2 per cent fall
recorded in January 2016. With the fall in exports and excess
output from factories and industries and Chinas plans to close
down many factories might add to the already existing strikes and
labour protests. As Chinas economy started slowing down after
tight more than two decades of extraordinary growth, strikes and
labor protests have already erupted across the country. Factories,
mines and other businesses are withholding wages and benefits,
laying off staff or shutting down altogether. This had further
added to the problems in the Chinese economy. Amidst the global
economic slowdown, global investors are closely watching the
developments in the Indian economy. Domestic issues like
growing NPAs in banks, tight rope walk for the government on
fiscal consolidation, disappointing corporate earnings, seems to
be the dampeners for the economic growth. But with
announcements in the Union Budget 2016-17 aiming at fiscal
prudence and economic growth and supportive stance by the RBI,
we can expect a sooner than expected economic recovery in India.

Fixed income markets remained one of the best performing


asset class in Feb as investors rushed into bonds after a rout in
equities and commodities hit returns. US 10 year treasuries
rallied almost 20bps to touch 1.74 per cent levels after investors
rushed into safe haven assets as volatility rose. Economic data
continues to remain mixed and that has led to volatile moves in
the bond market as well along with being guided by divergent
monetary policies across the globe. Bond market participants
expect no more rate hike or maybe one more hike by end of the
year as against the Fed dots expectations of 4 rate hikes this
year. US economy however remains the most strongest among
the developed markets and this should see inflows into US
equities along with inflows into bonds whenever there is a risk
off situation. On the other hand European bonds rallied after
ECB gave signals that it may cut interest rates more and boost
the QE to bring growth and inflation back. German 10 year
bunds is back to levels seen before 15 months while its 1-3 year
bunds are trading at negative levels. The peripherals like Spain,
Italy etc also rallied on the same even though some risks remain
in EU as Britan has announced a referendum on whether to be a
part of the EU or not, this may weigh on traders mind as we

In the Union Budget, lot of emphasis and focus was on the rural
economy and agriculture, with the sector under trouble after
two consecutive years of drought. The government committed
more than Rs. 87,000 crores for the rural sector. There was also
importance given to infrastructure sector, with a higher outlay
committed for roads and highways, on the back of an increased
outlay in the railway budget. This has come at a time when
private sector capex has been quite subdued. However, the
overall capital expenditure is budgeted to grow by around 4 per
cent YoY and revenue expenditure is budgeted to grow at 12 per
cent YoY in FY17.

provide for increased expenditure as a result of the 7th pay
commission and OROP. However, the government has been able
to stick to the target by keeping a control on total expenditure,
which is budgeted to grow around 10.8 per cent YoY in FY17. It
also sets the stage for a possible rate cut by the RBI in the near
future, as adherence to fiscal consolidation plan was one of the
key guidance factors for further monetary easing by the central
bank. Total revenue growth for FY17 budgeted at 15.5 per cent
YoY vs. 8.4 per cent in FY16 which is helped by stronger non-tax
revenue growth and divestment proceeds (under non-debt
capital receipts). Under Non Tax Revenue, Telecom spectrum
auction proceeds budgeted at around Rs. 99,000 Crs in FY17,
which is quite optimistic. The government has budgeted for a
divestment target of Rs. 36,000 crores and a strategic
disinvestment of Rs. 20,500 crores for FY17. However, its track
record on divestments has not been too good, with the
government missing its divestment target for six consecutive
years. The budget was a pragmatic one comes in the midst of a
challenging global environment. Hopefully, it will help the
Indian economy to continue on the path of growth, and standout
on a relative basis, when compared to some of our troubled
emerging market peers. Going forward, the focus for markets
should again shift to the global scenario and to corporate
earnings.
The Index of Industrial Production witnessed a contraction for
the third straight month in January-16. The IIP contracted by 1.5
per cent in Jan compared to 1.2 per cent contraction seen in
December and 2.8 per cent growth seen a year ago
demonstrating a drag on industrial recovery. The industrial
output slumped mainly due to the subdued growth in the
manufacturing and capital goods sectors. Manufacturing
de-grew at 2.84per cent compared to 2.18 per cent contraction
seen in the previous month. Mining and electricity grew at 1.2
per cent and 6.6 per cent respectively. Under the use based
classification, capital goods production fell sharply to 20.4 per
cent due to poor investment demand and weak capex data, and
consumer non-durables output fell 3.1 per cent due to weak
rural demand in the last two years caused by poor monsoons.
We believe that IIP will show gradual improvement going ahead
due to prominent focus given in the budget for infrastructure,
rural economy & banking sector.
Consumer Price Index led inflation eased to a four month low to
5.18 per cent in February from 5.69 per cent a month ago
increasing the chances of a rate cut. Food & beverages index
which has 45.86 per cent weightage in the overall index fell to
5.52 per cent against 6.66 per cent in the previous month. On a
Y-o-Y basis, the food inflation fell mainly due to fall in
vegetables prices from 6.39 per cent in January to 0.7 per cent in

February. The prices of pulses also fell for the month but still
continue to remain at elevated levels. Compared to last month,
the rural inflation and urban inflation have fallen to 5.97 per
cent and 4.30 per cent from 6.48 per cent and 4.81 per cent
respectively. The gap between rural and urban areas remained
same as seen in the previous month. Service inflation
(miscellaneous) continued to rise at 4.38 per cent, highest since
Aug-2014, against 3.95 per cent seen in January and curbing the
same may be crucial to achieve Mar-2017 CPI target of 5 per
cent. Due to the accelaration seen in service inflation, Core CPI
rose to 4.97 per cent vs 4.75 per cent in Jan. In separate data,
Wholesale price index fell for 16th consectutive month on
account of low crude oil prices and fall in vegetable prices. Retail
inflation came in below the RBIs target level of 6 per cent and is
expected to trend lower given that India will receive normal
seasonal rainfall and implementation of the Seventh Pay
Commission may not have much impact on the same.
FIIs were the net sellers in both debt and equity markets in the
month of February to the tune of Rs. 16,312 Crs. due to global
economic slowdown led by Chinese economy. They pulled out
Rs. 7,987 Crs from Indian equities due to fall in global crude oil
prices and weak corporate earnings in India Inc. FII sold debt to
the tune of Rs.8,324 Crs. in February, out of which Rs. 7,364 Crs.
was pulled out in the week leading to the Union Budget,
resulting in high benchmark yields and rupee weakening.
Liquidity conditions generally tighten towards the last quarter
of the financial year due to slowdown in government
expenditure, advance tax outflows by corporates and fiscal year
closing by banks. RBI has been active in liquidity management
and average net daily liquidity injection has increased from Rs.
153 billion in Q3 FY16 to Rs. 268 billion in the Jan-Feb period. RBI
purchased government bonds on March 10, 2016 through open
market operations to infuse Rs.15,000 Crores into the system.

This is the forth such high OMO purchase in this year in order to
provide flexibility to the banking system in its liquidity
management. Liquidity has been quite tight in the system and
this has put upward pressure on bond yields. Short-term
interest rates have risen sharply in the past two months with CP
and CD rates rising by 50bps and 100 bps respectively. Call
money rates has mostly remained anchored below or close to
the policy rate. Even AAA and AA corporate bond yields have
seen an uptick by 15-20bps since Dec15. Domestic liquidity
conditions have remained tight contributing to overall elevated
yields. Bond yields had shot up in the weeks leading to the
Budget due to large supply of high-yielding state bonds, and
expectations of a larger government borrowing in FY17.
However, the Finance Ministers decision to stick to the fiscal
deficit target of 3.5per cent in FY17 came as positive news for
the bond markets. Also, lower government borrowing plan as
announced in the budget has instilled confidence among the
market participants, resulting in bond rally post the budget.
With short term rates being elevated now, any fall in the interest
rates is likely to benefit short term funds. The 10 year
benchmark is trading around 7.65 per cent levels and is
expected to soften on the back monetary easing expected by
the RBI.

On fixed income side, accrual products and short term income


funds may be looked. The investment in Accrual funds may be
done with a time horizon of 3 years and Short Term Funds may
be looked at with a time horizon of 1-2 years as they carry
attractive YTMs and will benefit from the improvement in the
credit cycle and recovery in the economy. Investment
recommendation at this juncture is that investors who are
already holding long term debt funds when yields were around 8
per cent levels continue to hold while fresh investment maybe
initiated at 7.70-7.90 per cent levels not exceeding 15-20 per
cent of the portfolio.

Namely, a) the deflationary impact of negative interest rate


policies, b) U.K. upcoming June2016 referendum on whether to
remain a member of the European Union or not. C) if the Fed
reserve rate is increased then the efficaciousness of ECB and
BOJ, along with Chinas effective necessary steps towards its
policy making.
The recent economic data shows markets to be stabilizing, but
has not been sufficiently strong to bring back the expected bullish
trends. Negative interest rate policies have been used by the
major central banks. Until the central banks are able to define the
monetary stimulus into their respective economies global
markets are likely to remain skeptical and the pressure of
deflation could rise in the global markets leading to a lower
interest rate on the longer run. In Europe and Japan, the
combination of low oil prices, competitive currency values,
reasonable equity valuations and continued monetary policy
stimulus should be supportive for foreign-developed equities.
Both Europe and Japan have tailwinds from stimulus, with
prospects for additional easing if growth falters. Policymakers in
China are committed to supporting domestic demand as the
country transitions from an investment- to consumption-led
economy. Having said that, while we expect modest gains broadly
across foreign equities in 2016, indications of rising credit stress
in certain emerging economies suggest that developed markets
may continue to outperform emerging market equities.

Performance as on 29th Feb 2016

US Economy
The ability of any economy to perform sustainable growth will
decide the financial performance of the said economy for the
balance part of the year. Though most indices remained in red,
the data seems to remain constant with modest economic
expansion rather than the onset of an impending recession in
spite of global geopolitical issues. Amongst the developing
markets Brazil remained positive because of the commodity
prices. Whereas Japan stayed in red due to its currency
valuation and Europe remained in red awaiting the European
Union Meeting.
The financial markets steadied by late February 16 early
March16 due to the stabilizing oil prices apart from relief in the
enhanced value of Chinese Yuan and other emerging market
currencies clubbed with some improved US economic data.
Better economic trends reported in the recent past, has helped
see a ride out of recession that has been an expectation
globally. Though some points of concern remain to be watched
out for.

Among market cross roads the U.S. equities are entering the 7
year bull market. It may be said that the macro and fundamental
backdrops remain favorable for equities, inflation, earning
valuation, interest rate and above all sentiments remains
supportive for equity prices. However, drop in oil prices, slower
pace of growth in the global economies, diverging monetary
policies between U.S. and the other Central Banks globally,
rising interest rates and basic firming wages may not have the
required profit margins. Also, along with impending geopolitical
issues risk profile for equities remain elevated. An increased
volatility and muted returns are to be the hallmarks of 2016.
S&P 500 till now in 2016 is at about 2,225 approximately 9 per
cent higher than 2015 level. Anchored on the belief that the pace
of inflation and wage gains will be moderate and future Federal
Reserve rate hikes deliberate, effectively paving the way for
cyclical sectors and companies that are growing revenue,
gaining market share and that have thematic appeal to be
among the best performers in the new year.

Banking
Banking continues to showcase divergent performance with
private banks delivering 20-30 per cent PAT growth and PSU
banks reeling under NPA pressure. RBI asset quality review has
revealed the perturbing reality about the stress in PSU banks
balance sheet. Similar dismal set of numbers is expected for
Q4FY16 which shall keep pressure on PSU banking stocks. We
continue to recommend Avoid on all PSU banks. From budget
perspective, it was not expansionary which had a soothing
factor on markets. Fiscal deficit target was maintained at 3.5
per cent of GDP which led to sharp fall in G-sec yields of ~28 bps
to 7.62 per cent. Structurally, Private banks shall continue to
grab the credit market share. These banks continued to grow

Equity-India
For the month of February, Indian equity markets saw sharp selloff as global investors continued to adjust the hitherto overweight they have been running in their portfolios and also
because of fear of adverse taxation policies expected to be
announced in the Union Budget 2016-17. EM equities and
commodities though saw some bounce.
FIIs continued to be sellersfor the month. Currently the markets
are trading lower than its long term average valuations. Q3
earnings season was mixed, with autos, pharma and private
banks reporting in-line numbers, whereas, commodities, PSU
banks and IT reported largely weak numbers. While the RBI is
currently in a pause mode, it has indicated its willingness to cut
rates if fiscal room emerges. This should help private capex,
though it will come with a lag effect. As stated in earlier
communications, investments are clearly visible in segments
like roads and railways. Overall, we remain constructive on the
market from a medium to long term perspective. The key
themes to play are autos, high quality private banking, select
pharma and uniquely positioned MNCs.

their credit, NII and PAT at healthy pace of 20-30 per cent in
Q3FY16. Asset quality of these private banks which have retail
credit exposure and working capital corporate credit continue
to deliver stable asset quality. HDFC Bank, Indusind Bank, Kotak
Mahindra and Yes bank reported strong results with stable
asset quality. Correction in good quality private banks provides
opportunity to accumulate these stocks. Among NBFCs, we
prefer Mortgage finance and microfinance companies
considering their steady growth and stable asset quality. Bajaj

preferred picks on correction.
Pharma
Indian pharma companies sales have impacted in the recent
times due to higher base, increased competition, price erosion
in some of the key high-value products and currency volatility in
emerging markets. Some leading companies have received
warning letters from USFDA for CGMP violations (Sun, Dr Reddy
& Cadlia). Recently, Aurobindo has also received Form 483 from
the FDA for its anti-retroviral drugs facility (unit-VII). These

filing for site transfer of their key products. Companies are


investing in new facilities with the objective of diversifying key
products and filings across their manufacturing network.
However, there will be a muted growth for these companies in
the near term. India is among the fastest-growing
pharmaceutical markets in the world and has established itself
as a global manufacturing and research hub. US market
expected to provide significant growth opportunities over
longer term as huge number of ANDA filings are pending for
approvals. The industry would benefit from pick up in the
domestic market growth. However the near term headwinds on
account of emerging market currency crisis cannot be ruled out.

With falling commodity prices coal and gas were no exception.


Both these are aiding the power producers and helping them
reduce their losses. Solar power is gaining traction and we are
witnessing aggressive bidding from players with a lowest bid
made at 5.05/unit which has shaken many players. If the current
scenario continues and with the governments thrust on solar
power it would attain grid parity by 2020-21 out powering coal
and other fuel based power projects. Recently the govt
exempted solar projects from environmental clearance which
will boost more investments in the renewable sector. Overall
coal based power producers have been marred on account of
under recoveries which put stress on their financials and
balance sheet. However, recent government steps and cooling
off of coal prices from their highs are likely to benefit these
companies in medium to long term.

Capital Good/Infrastructure
Infrastructure space is still reeling under pressure and is
showing no signs of respite. During the budget govt has taken
various initiatives like a) `700bn allocated for Roads and
Highways b) Steps to revive PPPs: i) Dispute Bill to be introduced
ii)guidelines for renegotiation of PPP Concession Agreement
and iii)New credit rating system for infra projects and c)

Commodities

Technical outlook:
Gold market made a rounding bottom at the end of last year and
has started the year 2016 on a positive note. Prices have gained
by nearly 16per cent since the beginning of this year. In line with
our previous view prices are sustaining above $1200 mark. Till
prices hold above this level, we can expect prices to remain
steady. Also, prices should break the range of $1200-$1250 for
further clarity related to their direction.
Base Metals:
Copper prices depicted range bound movement during February
but witnessed sharp rally as the March month started. LME
copper breached the key resistance level of $4750 and marked a
high of $4815(at the time of report writing). Technically prices
have made a rounding bottom pattern and have breached the
resistance level. Going ahead, trend is looking up but
sustainability of prices will be important for continuing the
upwards momentum. At MCX, key support is at 317 and
resistance is at 333.
Aluminium trend looks positive till prices are trading above
support at 105, while on the upside break above 110 will likely
pave the way upside towards 115.
Lead trend looks positive till prices are trading above 118. Prices are
expected to take resistance around 127. Breach above 127 may lead

Going ahead, investors will be watching more U.S. data to gauge


the impact on stocks and the Federal Reserve's monetary policy.
Weakness in economic data and global uncertainty will
continue to postpone expectations of the FEDs next rate hike
and will be the most paramount factor in golds ability to
continue an uptrend. Dollar movements will also be closely
tracked as any upside in dollar may cause a setback in gold
rally.If U.S. data comes negative, it will help to increase the
likelihood that the Federal Reserve may raise rates in June, then
that could be the trigger for a selloff in gold. Overall, prices
should come out from their recent consolidation phase to take a
clear direction.

The US February non-farm payrolls release beat expectations,


with jobs growth recorded at 242k against a market expectation
of 195k. The unemployment rate remained unchanged at 4.9per
cent. Employment gains for January and December, meanwhile,
were revised upward by a combined 30,000.The government
said 172,000 new jobs were created in January instead of the
previously reported 151,000. December's gain was raised to
271,000 from 262,000. Wider measures of unemployment
improved as the participation rate edged up. There were
however some softer points from the jobs report, having
surprised on the upside last month, average earnings edged
backed to 2.2per cent (y/y) from 2.5per cent, whilst average
weekly hours also fell. The average hourly wage fell 3 cents, or
0.1per cent, to $25.35. A fall in the average U.S. earnings
lessened expectations that the Federal Reserve could raise
interest rates at its next policy meeting.

Gold prices witnessed smart rally during the month of February.


Gold was mainly underpinned by global uncertainty, drop in
stock markets which led investors to stay invested in gold as a
safe haven investment option. On monthly basis prices gained
by around 10.5per cent to end at $1234.40 an ounce at Comex
and 29513 at MCX. However, prices were unable to break out

Nickel's overall trend looks flat with resistance at 612 and

Crude oil:
Oil prices ended marginally higher on monthly basis but
depicted sharp recovery from its recent low, indicating that
prices were unable to sustain at lower levels. At Nymex prices
ended at $33.75 after making a low of $26.05. Buyers shrugged
off record high U.S. crude stockpiles and focused on an OPEC
plan to freeze production, keeping alive the notion that market
has bottomed from a near 2-year sell-off.OPEC member
Venezuela said a total of 15 oil producing countries will attend a
meeting planned later this month on freezing output at
January's highs.
Diplomatic activity between the OPEC and other major
producers to address the supply glut by freezing output has
helped feed a 25per cent price gain in the last 2-1/2 weeks from
12-year lows.Going ahead prices will be driven by OPEC decision
over production cut, dollar movements, crude oil inventory data
and US Fed decision over interest rate hike.
Technically on monthly chart, crude oil price trend is showing
consolidation at bottom. Prices need to break below $26 at
Nymex for further sell off while resistance is at $36. Break above
this level may lead to further upside towards $40. At MCX, key
resistance is at 2450. Weekly charts are showing a positive
momentum. Break above 2450 may lead to rallytowards2550-2600.

Japanese Yen was the best performing currency in Feb as it

EUR has weakened from early Feb high of 1.14 and closed at 1.09

ahead. Economic data continues to remain weak and the fear of
Brexit may hit the EUR negatively as Britain has set a
referendum to consider exiting from EU. The overhang of Brexit
and weak growth this year may keep the EUR volatile for rest of
the year. ECB is expected to be very accommodative in its policy
stance and may do more to boost growth. EUR may weaken as
the net short EUR position rose to USD 1.8bn to USD 8.1bn as of
8th March and fundamentally it may touch 1.02 levels by end of
2016.

Riskometer
RISKOMETER : SEBI's Mutual Fund Advisory committee had concurred that the
prevailing 3-level classification of scheme risk determined by colour coding
(brown for high risk, yellow for medium risk and blue for low risk) is inadequate
to calibrate risk adequately across all mutual fund products. Hence there was a
need to increase the levels of risk depiction from 3 to 5 to accommodate a finer
categorization of risk across the spectrum of MF products. Therefore the
colour coding has been replaced by a 'Riskometer' as an easier to understand
pictorial risk grading system.
