On the contrary, the broad market went into a consolidation mode with Midcaps correcting more than 10-15% after the rally last year. CY2012 was a good year for equity markets with the onset of the government reforms and economic revival hopes. Hence expectations for CY13 are also high. The key reform of the month which came from the government was the announcement of deregulation of diesel price allowing the OMCs to hike Diesel prices every month. This will help reduce the fiscal burden on the government going forward. In the current fiscal the government has collected approx. Rs.22000crores through disinvestment v/s its budgeted target of Rs.30000crores. The finance minister and the government have recently done a good job of creating a congenial environment through continued reforms reviving corporate and investor sentiment. 5500 4500 3500 FII MF 58.00 56.00 54.00 Rs v/s USD In US $ MN 2500 1500 500 (500) (1500) (2500) 52.00 50.00 48.00 46.00 44.00 42.00 Jan 12 Feb 12 Mar 12 Apr 12 May 12 Jun 12 Jul 12 Aug 12 Sep 12 Oct 12 Nov 12 Dec 12 Jan 13 Jan-12 Feb-12 Apr-12 May-12 Jun-12 Jul-12 Aug-12 Sep-12 Oct-12 Nov-12 Dec-12 On the domestic Industrial data front, India s January manufacturing PMI fell to 53.2 from 54.7 in December and 53.7 in November, led by weak output growth due to power shortages, and reflecting the gradual easing of inflation. The Eight Core industries have shown a moderate 2.6% growth in Dec 12 with the cumulative growth rate over April-December 12 standing at 3.3 % as against 4.8% last year. The muted Eight Core industrial data, along with a dip in the PMI lately points to an uneven slow macro revival. WPI reading for December also came in line with expectations at 7.2% practically unchanged over the previous number. The positive surprise however came on account of the core inflation number which edged lower to 4.2% almost in line with the RBI comfort level of 4%. Going forward, we believe continued domestic reforms such as GST, National Investment Board, coal auctions and power sector reforms like coal price pooling measures will be the key issues to watch out for. We are also approaching the Indian Budget with a lot of expectations on growth oriented measures from our Finance Minister as industrial growth has slowed down considerably.

The government has shown some political will for a few long overdue corrective steps mainly subsidy reduction measures. However, the ride for FY14 will be more challenging because of the general election cycle. Valuations are still quite attractive for long term investors as the economy has already seen its worst and market s sentiment has improved considerably. The well balanced budget with focus on growth as well as fiscal consolidation will pave the way for further rally in the market. FIIs continued their equity buying in January with net buying of US$4bn of equities over the month while DIIs continued to be net sellers to the extent of US$3.2bn over January. The BSE Sensex, which has rallied smartly in the past few months, currently trades at a P/E of 14xFY14e one year forward earnings. For long term investors valuations are still attractive. Continuation of the reform process with timely implementation could result in the rally ygaining gmomentum. Debt Outlook: In its Jan policy meet, the RBI cut the repo rate by 25bps and the CRR by 25bps. While upward risks to inflation remain, it is expected to remain range-bound in FY14, thus providing room for further rate cuts. The growth forecast has been further revised down to 5.5% by RBI and inflation is expected to fall to 6.8% by Mar 13, potentially making it a pre-condition for further easing. Market Liquidity has been low for a long time and has been a on the higher side of the negative band of INR 1 lac crores. 10G-sec has seen one of the longest rally in the last few years by edging close to 7.80%and the corporate bonds, not far behind and trading at a spread of 65bps. We expect the yield level to be in the range of 7.85% to 7.95%. Corporate bonds have seen a dull market after the CRR cut with spreads widening to 80bps, we see that continuing for some more time.

Learning Curve Understanding Inflation Over the last few years we have witnessed how food prices have risen dramatically. A pack of 100gm biscuits which cost Rs. 4 now costs Rs. 6 while you could get a 100gm bar of chocolate for Rs. 10 a couple of years back, the same Rs. 10 can only get you 75 gms of chocolate today. This signifies a fall in the purchasing power of money due to a rise in prices. The rate of change in the level of prices of goods and services over a period of time, which affects the purchasing power of money, is termed as inflation. There are different metrics to track inflation such as Wholesale Price Index (WPI) and Consumer Price Index (CPI). Globally, CPI is the most widely used index as it measures the increase in price that a consumer pays for goods and services. It is also considered as a cost of living index. However, in India WPI is more commonly used. It measures the change in the average price level of a basket of 435 products traded in wholesale markets. The WPI data is announced on a monthly basis. Inflation eats away not only in to savings but also the returns. It reduces the purchasing power of money, thereby reducing the intrinsic value of an individual s savings. Further, it also reduces the real return which is obtained by subtracting the inflation from nominal returns. For e.g. an investment of Rs 1,00,000 in a bank fixed deposit in January 2012 at an interest rate of 10% pa would get you Rs. 1,10,000 in January 2013. However, during this period inflation was 7.2%, thereby reducing your real rate of returns to mere 2.8%. Household savings could be seen as either postponed consumption or money put away for wealth creation. If households save on account of postponed consumption then it would be very important that their returns on their savings beat inflation, if they have to be better off, in future. Inflation acts as a tax on your earnings, reducing your ability to spend and forcing you to postpone consumption. A minimum level of inflation is considered good for the economy as it signals that the economy is growing. It encourages production, investment and consumption in the economy. It is also good for the stock markets as prices of stocks rise in line and companies also report higher profits. Inflation is one of the important factors that influence monetary policy decisions. Anchoring inflation expectations and maintaining price stability is one of the key macroeconomic objectives of the Central Banks across the globe. To protect from loss on account of inflation it is essential to invest carefully as well to diversify your portfolio. Historically, over long-term, equities have provided the best hedge against inflation as equities have delivered over 19.1% CAGR (as on 31st December 2012) over the last 10 years. Along with financial assets, investing a portion of your savings in physical assets such as real estate or gold can neutralize the impact of inflation.

By far the most important statistics for both, the household and RBI is inflation. The RBI governor in a recent speech candidly says that even he does not know how to interpret inflation. Twenty years ago, when I had a thick mop of hair, I used to pay Rs. 25 for a haircut. Ten years ago after my hair started thinning I was paying Rs. 50 for a haircut. And now, when I have virtually no hair left, I am paying Rs. 150 for a haircut. Arpita Nanoti Head Investment Communication & Advisory
