Market Update Economy Review The macro-economic environment continues to be challenging. After a positive reading in January '14 (growth of 0.8%), industrial production contracted by 1.9% y-o-y. Manufacturing contracted by 3.7% and mining grew by 1.4%. The consumer price index (CPI) inched up to 8.3% and wholesale price index (WPI) spiked to 5.7%. Core inflation remained stable at 7.8% y-o-y. On the positive front, India's current account deficit (CAD) at the end of FY14 improved to less than 2% from a high of 5% in FY13. India posted its best ever CAD data in last 20 quarters as imports declined 8.1% to $451bn. This was due to domestic slowdown and gold import curbs. Exports growth remained positive albeit only 4% and any future upswing is dependent on a global trade recovery. India's forex reserves, augmented by recent FII flows are higher at approximately $310bn. th th The first phase of the 16 general elections began on 7 April 2014, with overall voter turnout th improving vis-à-vis the previous elections. The last phase of voting ended on 12 May and results would be announced on May 16. Along with the expectation of decisive election mandate, there is an underlying EM risk on rally which has also contributed to the recent Indian equities run-up. One of the reasons behind the strong rally in India is that it has benefitted out of the huge inflows in the Emerging Markets. In the last 2 months, India is up 9.1%, Russia 10%, Thailand 9.5%, Indonesia 9.3%, Brazil 9% and Turkey by 8.5%. We believe that if a stable government comes to power, a recovery may be expected in the cyclical sectors from the next year. Post elections, focus will shift towards domestic monsoon scenario and markets may move according to the global risk on and off environment. 1
Market Update Outlook for Equities Indian equities had a month of consolidation in April with benchmark indices closing flat despite hitting all time highs. FII interest continued with inflows of $1.2bn during the month of April taking the YTD buy figure to $5.3bn. Domestic institutional investors (DII) continued to be net sellers, notching up net outflows of $1.1bn in April, taking their YTD outflow figure to $3.5bn. We expect a corporate earnings growth of 12-13% in FY15 resulting in Sensex earnings per share (EPS) at over Rs.1500. At current levels, the Sensex is trading fairly at 15xFY15e earnings. However, if the country gets a decisive election mandate, the market euphoria might take the Sensex to new high as investors will start discounting FY16e earnings in the coming months. 23000 BSE NSE 7000 INDEX 30-31-Mar-14 % Change 22000 21000 20000 19000 18000 6500 6000 5500 5000 4500 Nifty Sensex BSE 100 Dow Jones 6696.40 6704.20-0.12% 22417.80 22386.27 0.14% 6715.36 6707.28 0.12% 16580.84 16457.66 0.75% 17000 4000 Nikkei 14304.11 14827.83-3.53% 16000 15000 Mar-13 Apr-13 May-13 Jun -13 Jul-13 Aug -13 Sep -13 Oct -13 Nov-13 Dec-13 Jan-14 Feb -14 Mar-14 3500 3000 Hang Seng Nasdaq 22133.97 22151.06-0.08% 4114.56 4198.99-2.01% Outlook for Debt Bond market saw steady buying on the G-sec market. Most of the activity was concentrated in the 10 year security. The long end of the market was bought by the insurance industry when it was issued by the RBI in the weekly auctions. There were very few issuances on the corporate bond front. As there were no primary issues, the secondary market where trading at very low spread. We expect the scenario to continue till May 2014. We expect 10 year G-sec yield to trade in the range of 8.75% to 9.10 % and corporate bond spread to remain at 65 bps in the near term. 10 Yr G-Sec Yield 5 year AAA Corporate Bond Spread percentage (%) 10.0 9.0 8.0 7.0 150 125 100 75 bps Key Indices 10 year G-Sec 5 Year G-Sec 91 Day T Bill 364 day T-Bill 30-31-Mar-14 % Change 8.83% 8.80% 0.34% 8.80% 8.88% -0.91% 8.83% 8.55% 3.17% 8.89% 8.70% 2.14% 6.0 50 MIBOR 8.98% 9.89% -10.13% 5.0 25 Call Rates 8.65% 8.03% 7.17% Mar-13 Apr-13 May-13 Jun-13 Jul-13 Aug-13 Sep-13 Oct-13 Nov-13 Dec-13 Jan-14 Feb-14 Mar-14 2
