Market outlook
 The market will closely watch the direction of the rupee and the investment activity
of foreign institutional investors (FIIs), which hold the trump card for setting the
near-term direction.
 Trading will be volatile in the coming week, as nervous investors look for
opportunities to cut their losses.
 The market will focus on the growing geo-political concerns in the Middle East,
which not only hit global equity markets this week, but also pushed up crude oil and
gold prices.
 There are allegations that Syria used chemical weapons on civilians.
 Market men fear the sharp rise in global crude oil prices, coupled with a weak rupee,
will worsen India's already record current account deficit (CAD).
 Rupee depreciation fuels inflation, increases import bill and current account deficit.
It also increases the government's spending on fuel subsidies, potentially widening
the fiscal deficit.
 Indian financial markets will on Monday, 2 September 2013, react to the first quarter
GDP growth data

7. India MarketSummary fortheweekended 30-8-2013
Sector Outlook
 Global economies especially US, Japan or Europe are improving. Emerging nations
like Turkey, Brazil and Indonesia are raising rates. So, competition is increasing for
capital and that will pose its own challenges for India. Next month there is a big
event on September 18 when Fed will decide on the taper amount. That is keeping
volatility high, Volatility is here to stay for some more couple of quarters and our
growth is slowing down.
 Given the current local and global cues, the market is likely to be quite choppy in
September
Pharmaceutical stocks may bought at declines
• Dr. Reddy's Laboratories
• Cipla
• Sun Pharmaceutical Industries
Information Technology
• IT stocks expected to gain on weak rupee. A weak rupee boosts revenue of IT firms
in rupee terms as the sector derives a lion's share of revenue from exports. Positive
economic data in the US, the biggest outsourcing market for the Indian IT firms,
also boost IT shares.
• Buy Infosys, TCS and HCL Tech at declines
