September 10 – September 13, 2013

Equity View:
There was a lot of concern amongst the equity markets that Lawrence (Larry) Summers would tighten
interest rates in the U.S. much more sharply than the other candidates. In the last 3 months, we have
seen a big correction and depreciation in emerging market currencies and stock markets largely on the
back of concerns that U.S. monetary regime will change from a very easy liquidity driven regime to a
more hawkish kind of a regime in the next couple of years, especially with the expectation that Larry
Summers would become the next U.S. Federal Reserve Governor. Today morning he announced that he
was no longer in the race considering the political opposition to him which was expected in the U.S.
Senate.
In the short term we would believe that it would have a positive bearing not just on the equity markets
but also on the Indian rupee. We have a Federal Reserve meeting on the 17th and 18th of this week,
where we expect the beginning of the tapering process. The current expectation is that Fed may reduce
its bond-buying program from $85 billion currently to $75 billion from next month which is the consensus
expectation at this point of time. We also have the RBI meeting on 20th of this month and there is this
expectation building up of the Marginal Standing Facility (MSF) reducing by 100 bps i.e. from 10.25% to
9.25%; however we believe that the repo rate will continue to be unchanged for now, and we believe
that RBI would maintain a cautious stance as far as the inflation is concerned in the short term.
We have quite a few data points on the macroeconomic front coming out last week. The Index of
Industrial Production (IIP) data coming at 2.6% was a big positive surprise. This was largely driven by
Capital Goods data, as we’ve seen in last several months Capital Goods data tends to be extremely
lumpy. This IIP data was largely driven by 16% growth in Capital Goods. However, we don’t think there
has been a sustainable turnaround as far as the Infrastructure and Capital Goods creation activity in the
country is concerned. Hence we would not assign too much importance to this data. We believe that the
industrial activity remains extremely muted. There is a need to be cautious on the whole industrial space
for now.
We also witnessed the Prime Ministers Economic Advisory Council lowering the FY14 GDP growth
forecast to 5.3% from 6.4% expectation that we had earlier in March. As of now most of the economists,
especially those attached to Broking houses, have had a GDP growth forecast between 4% – 5%. For now
we have forecasted GDP growth of around 5%. If we don’t see a significant reversal of Monetary Policy in
India, we would expect that even that 5% growth would be difficult to come by. Hence, we would wait for
another quarter and see what actions RBI takes before changing the GDP growth forecast.

News:
DOMESTIC MACRO:
 Overseas investors have pumped in nearly Rs 6,000 crore in the Indian capital markets in a

announcing various measures to boost the depreciating local currency and revive economic
growth.
 India’s factory output (Index of Industrial Production, or IIP) rose 2.6% in July and retail inflation
decelerated in August for the second consecutive month to 9.52%.

 Euro zone employment fell by 0.1% from the 1st Quarter to stand at 145 mn. This is 1% lower than

elections scheduled in Germany which the markets will be watching closely.
USA
 The U.S. economy created 169,000 jobs last month which was lower than the expected 180000.
The jobless rate fell to 7.3 percent, the lowest since December 2008, and less than estimates that it
would hold steady at 7.4 percent. America's budget deficit shrank in August compared to a year
earlier, with government accounts helped by tax hikes and an improving economy.
China
 Chinese stock markets rose to a 3 month high led by banks after the Chinese premier said he would
accelerate financial reform. The Shanghai Index has risen 16% since reaching this year’s low as data
ranging from exports to industrial output showed growth is accelerating. This portent to improved
economic growth in the last quarter of this calendar year.
