Most global indices ended July in positive territory, with technology performing better than other sectors. The S&P BSE Sensex returned 3.66% while mid and small caps underperformed. Inflation accelerated due to higher food prices and fuel cost adjustments, but the trade deficit declined 30% year-over-year in July. The document recommends lump sum investments in volatility funds and step investments in equity funds focusing on the discovery, bluechip, top 100, US bluechip, and infrastructure sectors. It expresses a cautiously optimistic outlook for India given an excellent monsoon and expectations of gradual economic recovery.
