Caught on the wrong side
Indian policymaking is struggling in the maze of
impossible trinity. The choice between pegged
exchange rate and an independent monetary
policy becomes important since the Indian
business cycles may not be fully aligned with that
of the US. Now that US yields have firmed up,
either INR can remain a float or pegged to the
USD, the later involving monetary tightening and a
loss of monetary independence. Central banking in
India is inclined towards the later for now while
keeping doors for former wide open. Clearly, the
choice to pursue the middle path may be
distortionary and would inherently include very
short-term patchwork policymaking.
CAD funding: the 21bn dollar question
Looming BoP crisis for India stems from the fact
that capital account, for all optimistic assumptions
may fail to fund the deficit of USDbn88.9 in FY14E.
Assuming more-than-expected long term flows in
(FDI+ Loans + NRI deposits); our estimates show
that there is excessive reliance on "hot money"
flows of around USDbn21 over FY14E. As the US
yields rise and narrow the gap between India and
US paper, the possibility of outflows in debt (early
indication seen in last three months) may be a
prolonged reality. Equity inflows, meanwhile could
suffer a vicious cycle of weakening INR and a
worsening outlook on overall business cycle.
Flows
ETF flow direction has seen an increased
concentration towards US, Japan and European
markets as investors look to avoid the volatility of
Emerging Markets and commodities in the short
term. Recent FII net outflows have significantly
countered the strong YTD start and is now
pushing Indian bourses into a delayed sell off as
hiding places become exposed.
Investment Strategy
The Model Portfolio has seen an outperformance
of 200 bps in the last 3 months. Our contrarian
picks have been working well for us. The structural
construct has remained unchanged and our
preferred investment categories are Oil & Gas,
Automobiles, Power and Consumption. Our
underweights in banks continue and we expect
the benchmark index to see another 10-15%
correction. We would like to highlight that under
recovery theme might reverse with the INR looking
to hold its levels in the current quarter. Notably, as
is the market we have only OWs and UWs and no
Neutral positions.

India Confronts the Impossible Trinity

Tough times warrant realistic outlook
ExecutiveSummary
India's problems are first order: Policymaking would better address the structural bottlenecks within primary agents of economic activity
viz. land, labor, capital, and business sentiments. In absence of this, restoration of pre-crisis growth will remain purely aspirational. There is
a need to understand the difference between cyclical and structural revival and that a lower rate regime led cyclical revival is passé for
India.
Fed decides course of Indian policy: The liquidity tightening stance of CB in India has resulted in prioritization of “volatility management
in INR” over other mandates in its multiple indicator approach. CB’s successive moves is ample indication that policy has moved in a
direction from where quick reversal is not a natural option. In due course, CB has also removed the confusion about "short-term" nature
of these moves. We see a clear message that the current stance is here to stay, atleast till mid-Sep i.e. when US Fed clarifies on quantum
and direction of QE withdrawal, if any.
India not ready for another devaluation: Fundamental devaluation as an option to overcome the current crisis is largely ruled out as
interplays between various factors in the external and domestic economy cast a shadow on the success out of such a move. Income
effect led price-inelasticity on imports together with negative real rates and dieselization of the economy has meant that currency
weakening may not yield otherwise standard results. Fact remains that government policies and finances are in such shape that any ill-
thought move may probably boomerang with a sovereign downgrade to junk.
Global Flows Go Further West: Although there has been some change in the complexion in the top ETFs, we still note the top ETFs (in
flow terms) are US centric and the trend shows no clear sign of turning. The major SPDR S&P ETF garnered more flows in July (USD 12
bn) than it had done in the last 6 months (USD 10.4 bn) whilst US ETFs accounted for 83.4% of the top 15 flows for July as the
concentration narrowed further.
Delayed Sell Off Exposes India’s Hiding Places: Money moves have continued to flow away from Emerging Markets and commodity ETFs,
with over USD 40.5 bn of selling in the last six months. The withdrawals are now having a knock on effect in India as FIIs move to net
sellers and the Index supports give way. Increasingly, turnover and OI share are being concentrated in a handful of blue-chips, a trend
which is showing few signs of a slowdown, leaving the rest of the market to the mercy of increasingly volatile moves.
Beyond the payment crisis: We see the ensuing 3-months as very critical for the markets, which will largely decide the course over the
medium term i.e. two years. If India weathers the payment crisis, Indian equities might well see a big ‘sentiment’ rally which exposes the
current weak INR trade to risks. Though the purge is not fully complete, ‘Value’ has seemingly become more broad-based even as the
market seems to be ignoring the benefic effects of a good monsoon.
6. Elara Securities (India) Private Limited
CB in India says it is caught in the maze of impossible trinity. In view of the open capital account, the trinity suggests that there is a choice to
be made between pegged exchange rate and an independent monetary policy. This choice becomes important since the Indian business
cycles may not be fully aligned with that of the US. Now that US yields have firmed up, either INR can remain a float or pegged to the USD,
the later involves monetary tightening and a loss of monetary independence.
For now, CB in India is inclined towards the forfeiting monetary independence but the domestic conditions might warrant a shift towards the
monetary independence to revive the sagging economy. As the CB commentary keeps the doors on possible shift of stance wide open, there
is a visible attempt to tread the middle path. We believe that such a stance will indeed be distortionary and inherently include very short-term
patchwork policymaking.

10. Short-term rates on CMBs spike up
Devolved auctions YTD approach historical highs

Yield curve bends on tight liquidity

Source: CMIE, RBI, Bloomberg, MoF, Elara Securities Research
Short-term rates in unchartered territory
Cash management bills peak out at 11.7%, cool enough for
banks to borrow from the MSF window at 10.25% and get
paid 11.70% in the short-term treasury. Of course, it works
only till 1% of NDTL. The latest move, thus will take time to
squeeze out systemic liquidity.
If INR250bn becomes the norm for borrowing in the MSF
window, system would see stress after 2-3 such auctions post
which around INR660bn would have been out of the system.
Prima facie, this is the time when the banking system might
face a tough time finding liquidity, resulting in systemic rise in
all rate at the short end, and could spill over to the long end
too in some cases.

11. Formal hike in CRR more probable in future
With the recent moves, CB has altered the way short-term
rates move, otherwise within the reverse repo and repo rates
on LAF window. Successive moves on liquidity squeeze would
mean that this band now shifts in a wide range of 300bps
between repo rate and the MSF rate.
With MSF as the new policy rate, for all practical purposes, CB
in India may not have to officially hike the repo rates, as they
are redundant anyways. The reversal on CRR however cannot
be ruled out and remains very much on the cards.
We believe that monetary policy will now largely work in out-
of-policy framework, depending upon movements in INR.

12. Sharp outflow in FII debt holding
Capital account, for all optimistic assumptions may fail to fund
the CAD of USDbn88.9 in FY14E. Even assuming more-than-
expected inflows in long term flows in (FDI+ Loans + NRI
deposits); our estimates show that there is excessive reliance
on "hot money“ flows to the extent of USDbn21.3 over FY14E.
And this assumes a significant improvement in FDI inflows,
from USDbn19.8bn to USDbn23.8, assuming incremental
money does flow through post the best of efforts by the Indian
policymakers.
The primary concern is, as US yields rise and the gap between
Indian paper and US paper contracts, the possibility of
outflows in debt (early indication seen in last three months)
may be a prolonged reality. Equity flows, meanwhile could
suffer a vicious cycle of weakening INR and a worsening
outlook on overall business cycle.

Inflation
Structural CPI inflation is a key macro-stability risk
Indian growth cycle exposed to sustained slowdown
Post the CB adventures in domestic money market, there is a
visible wedge between the onshore and offshore (NDF) markets of
INR. New governor comes at helm when the domestic liquidity has
sharply dried, thus leading to revision of base rates by some
private sector banks. As such, the policymaking has to tread
cautiously because any lapse could probably boomerang with a
sovereign downgrade to junk.

14. Investment cycle has seen a bottom but recovery uncertain
Elara Securities (India) Private Limited
Growth
We stick to our forecast of 5.6% real growth over FY14E, and
observe that potential downside risk of 30-40bps could be
capped owing to a possible surprise in farm sector.
Our estimates seemed conservative a few weeks back but are
now placed on a level field with most of the street paring their
growth estimates post the liquidity tightening moves since
mid-July.
It helps us that our forecast had already built up on our
assumption of no case for monetary easing in India over CY14,
a consensus view now.
Investments
The interplay of structural and cyclical component will ensure
that while investments will not fall further, a sharp rise may
not materialize.
Though investment does have a small election multiplier, the
fundamentals on ground suggest a need to address primary
concerns of investment accretion in the economy.
Land acquisition bill and mining bills are two major policy
levers to watch out for in future. But, for that to happen and
reflect on ground, it will take a new government in India by
late H1CY14.
Inflation
Headline WPI suffers fresh ERPT pangs as estimates show that
every 10% depreciation adds 92bps (RBI estimates even higher
at 120bps) on the headline.
The lead and lag of primary to manufacturing inflation may
result in trajectory reversal of the later owing to ERPT
pressures.

To create a sustainable avenue for funding CAD, government
came up with a slew of announcements in accordance with

Positive symbolically
The game changer moves, in our view would be shifting various
FDIs from approval to automatic route framework as these would
not have to pass through the corridors of power in New Delhi or
provincial assemblies.
But no trickle down soon
FDI investments are long term money and require a long-term
call on the domestic economy. And at this time, it may not be
fully material given the distressed state of the economy.
Considering the stressed balance sheet of telecom player in
India and the high spectrum costs that have ruined the
telecom industry per se, expectations of entry of new players
to substantially shore up FDI nos. may be a tough ask, after all.
Defense FDI, being a sensitive subject is more of a posturing
exercise and may not effectively materialize after all. But, small
pockets could surprise, may not be in next 1-2 quarters but
certainly when INR attains somewhat stability.

US ETFs accounted for 77% of the flows for the top 15 ETFs

Although there has been some change in complexion in the

The SPDR S&P ETF garnered more flows in July (USD 12 bn)
than it had done in the last 6 months (USD 10.4 bn).
