2. Equity View:
Last week, especially Thursday and Friday turned out to be good for the equity markets, largely on the
back of clarifications by US Fed that they are in no hurry to taper off the ongoing Quantitative Easing (QE
III). This was against the backdrop of a very sharp cool off in equity and risk asset markets across the
globe last month when Fed announced its road map of tapering the QE III. They have clearly linked the
tapering plan to the unemployment numbers and the growth numbers which continue to come out of
the US. We believe that there will be some tapering of QE III which might happen towards the end of this
year. It is difficult to figure out the quantum and the exact timing for the same. The US economy
continues to do well from a macro economic perspective. There have been continuous additions of jobs
which have surprised most of the analysts on the positive.
As far as India is concerned, we had a pretty dismal set of numbers as far as IIP is concerned. We had a
negative 1.6% number versus a positive 1.5% expectation which the markets generally had. The
manufacturing outlook continues to be quite weak with a de-growth also coming up last month. We
continue to believe that there is a need for continuous monetary easing for a sustainable bounce back in
economic growth. We believe that when the RBI meets during the end of this month, we would see a
rate cut irrespective of the fact that Rupee has weakened against the dollar significantly. We would
expect a 25 bps cut in repo rate and may be a 25 bps cut in CRR rate when the RBI meets towards the end
of the month.
Also, in terms of the result season, we have seen a decent start to the earnings season so far. Infosys
came up with a better than expected Dollar revenue growth and as a reaction to that the stock did jump
quite significantly on Friday. This is a decent start as far as the IT sector earnings are concerned. And we
expect most of the companies in the IT space would be able to deliver between 0 and 4% dollar revenue
growth.
In terms of the banking results so far, IndusInd bank came up with a pretty decent set of numbers with a
40% Y-o-Y growth. We believe that private sector banking names will continue to deliver good set of
numbers with 15% - 20% flat growth for this quarter. We also expect Pharma and FMCG companies to
also deliver 15% Y-o-Y growth on earnings. We expect that Pharma, IT, FMCG and Private Sector Banking
names would continue to probably outperform their peers on the back of very strong earnings growth.
