1. The World This Week
Oct 10 – Oct 14, 2011

2. Equity View:
Last week, Indian Equity markets closed on a positive note up by around 4.5%. RIL came out with Q2FY12 results over the
weekend. Its net profit grew by 15.8% YoY which was in line with the expectations. Revenue grew by around 35% YoY.
The results were lead by very strong numbers on the refining front, however oil & gas continue to decline & there is
continuous weakness in gas output from KG-D6.
The Index of Industrial Production (IIP) expanded by 4.1% in August 2011, which was below consensus expectations.
Economic activities have been sluggish in the last several of months and there are expectations that the GDP growth for
FY12 will be between 7%-7.5%.
US markets ended the week on a positive note; up by 8%. The rally was due to a good set of numbers coming in from IT
majors including Google. We have seen a very sharp movement in risky assets across the world. The dollar index moved
down from 79 to 76 in a span of 5-6 trading sessions leading to a sharp rally in metals, crude & emerging market equities.
This was because of the news that some kind of temporary solution to the European crisis could be possible.
In the G-20 Summit last Saturday, European leaders promised that they would come out with some solution to the
European crisis by 23rd October 2011, when European nation meeting is planned. Also the EU Debt Summit will take
place on the 3rd & 4th November wherein the three key measures expected are plan for recapitalization of European
banks so they are able to cope with any further market turmoil, a long-term solution to the Greek debt crisis and
increasing the capacity of the European Financial Stability Fund (EFSF).
This week is laden with Q2FY12 results, with BAL, L&T, HDFC Ltd and Axis bank coming out with their numbers. We
continue to expect good set of results from Bajaj Auto with growth of around 17-18% in profits. Axis bank is also coming
with its Q2 results on Saturday; we continue to remain positive on private sector banking names. We expect that the
earnings season to be led by private sector banking names like Axis bank, ICICI bank & HDFC bank.
On the global front we have China coming with its GDP numbers on Thursday. There is an expectation that this will be a
softer number as compared to last quarter. The number is expected to be close to 9% lower than 9.6%-9.7% reported
previously.
News:
DOMESTIC MACRO:
