Inflows from month-end government spending and gilt redemptions widened the liquidity surplus. However, rates were strained to a certain extent due to outflows towards advance tax payments which tightened systemic liquidity. The 50 bps rate cut by the RBI, however, helped rates to settle at lower levels towards the month end. Government bond prices (gilts) hovered in a narrow range for most parts of September 2015, but surged towards the month-end with the yield on 10-year benchmark - the 7.72%, 2025 paper - ending at 7.54% on September 30, 2015, compared with 7.78% on August 31, Sentiments were positive earlier as tepid domestic GDP data for the June 2015 quarter, coupled with benign inflation figures, strengthened hopes of a rate cut by the RBI. These hopes came alive after the Central Bank, in its fourth bi-monthly monetary policy review on September 29, 2015 cut the repo rate under the liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) by 50 bps from 7.25% to 6.75%. Gilts received a further boost when the RBI hiked limits for foreign portfolio investor (FPI) investment in government securities to 5% of the outstanding stock by March 2018, a move that is expected to bring in an additional Rs 1.2 lakh cr into the market. Macro Update Sluggish economic recovery: The April-June GDP growth moderated to 7.0%, from 7.5% in the previous quarter, with net exports subtracting from growth and private consumption slowing somewhat. Irrespective of the headline 7% GDP print, it is clear from various high frequency indicators (PMI, credit growth, non-oil-non-gold imports, capacity utilization) that economic momentum remains weak and may need further policy support to facilitate a robust recovery. CPI inflation remains benign (3.7%yoy through August 2015), led by lower than anticipated increase in food prices. Given the trend of food and fuel prices, RBI s 6% target for January 2016 seems achievable. Meanwhile, WPI continues to be negative (- 4.9% in August 2015) and could remain so in the near term, while GDP deflator is growing at a modest rate as well (1.8% in April-June). The other area which could benefit from further monetary easing is private sector credit growth, which has hit a multi-decade low. As per RBI s latest data, nominal credit growth has slowed further to 9%yoy by end August 2015 (from 12%yoy in the same period last year). Our Outlook We have been communicating over the last one year on the possibility of sharper rate cuts and hence the 50 bps rate cut by the RBI was not too surprising for us. We now have a cumulative 125 bps rate cut in this calendar year till date. We believe there was substantial scope for interest rates to come down in India as a result of falling commodity prices and severe deflationary pressures across the world. Hence, a 50 bps rate cut is a step in the right direction to improve the long term growth of the economy. Also due to lower transmission of the previous monetary policy by banking sector, RBI saw scope for further reduction in the interest rates. We believe inflation could continue to undershoot the RBI targets for Q1 of FY2016 and FY2017 and may remain around 5% and 4.5% respectively. The RBI continues to emphasize that it would remain accommodative and its future actions will remain data dependent. With this and given the 50bps cut in the repo rate, we think room for further cuts remain intact. A lower for longer period inflation path and moderation in inflation expectations which remains a possibility, in our view could provide room for further rate cuts. Over a period of time, we expect further moderation in interest rates from current levels and investors should continue to invest in duration funds with an aim to benefit from the same. Also, the reaction of 50 bps rate cut on 10 year G-sec yield has been limited which may be owing to quarter end selling pressure by banks, this leaves opportunity for investors to invest. Bond yields may fall more before they entirely price in the 50 bps rate cut.

2 Debt Valuation We have been maintaining the Debt valuation model that is calculated based on CPI, WPI, Crude oil prices, Current Account and G-Sec yields. This model has been tested since 1995 and provides estimates of interest rate cycles. Currently the index lies in attractively valued territory and indicates that one needs to be invested aggressively in high duration funds. Debt Valuation Index considers WPI and CPI over G-Sec Yield, Current Account Balance and Crude Oil Movement for calculation. Equal weights are assigned to each of these parameters for calculating the index. Our Recommendation With repo rate now at 6.75% and possibility of further rate cuts, the 10 year bond yields at 7.54% levels remains reasonably valued. Long term duration funds seem better placed in a downward rate cycle. But for those looking to diversify, a debt portfolio with shortand medium-term bond funds can be a good combination as well. This is a suitable time to invest into such products with an aim to benefit from the falling interest rates and also limit the re-investment risk.
