During the period between last week of October and first week of November, clarity has emerged on matters pertaining to US election and fiscal stimulus. While the quantum and timing of the fiscal stimulus is still undecided, the market is rejoicing the clarity. The quarterly financial results and favorable macro data also supported the markets. The Indian economy seems to be recovering well. October GST collection crossed the INR 1 trillion barrier after eight months. Ever since GST was implemented in 2017, the market has been judging the success of GST and fiscal health using INR 1 trillion rule of thumb. The Current GST collection trends should give us a reasonable sense about nominal GDP growth as GST rates have not been altered much. The other high-frequency growth indicators such as PMI, power demand, auto sales, tractor sales, e-way bills are also indicating strong recovery. The Government policy responses seem to be working well. The Covid19 situation in the country also appears to be coming under control and the economic activity of Indian businesses is picking up. The current festive season is expected to provide the much needed push. So far the Q2 financial results have been quite encouraging. Almost all businesses have reported increase in margin and decrease in working capital. More importantly the management expect most of these improvements to sustain in future. This in turn has also supported the broad based price action in the equity market. The external economic factors have also improved for India. Trade deficit narrowed led by higher petroleum and gems & jewellery exports. Exports surged MoM and imports registered slight improvement. Annual growth rate for export was +6% and for import was - 20% Y0Y respectively. Forex reserves stood at US$ 542bn (up US$ 1bn over last month). Consumer Price Index (CPI) Inflation for the month of September was at 7.34% and Wholesale Price Index (WPI) inflation was at 1.32%. Despite the inflation being above the RBI’s comfort level for the last couple of months, the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) decided to continue with the accommodative stance as long as necessary – at least during the current year and into the next financial year. This was done with a view to revive growth on a sustainable basis and mitigate the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the economy while at the same time keeping the inflation target in mind. Government securities followed a downward trajectory in October as the RBI kept the policy rate unchanged but cheered markets with a slew of liquidity measures to boost investor confidence. RBI has also decided to conduct open market operations in state development loans as a special case during the current financial year. Yields continued to cool down despite additional borrowing announced by the central government. Taking these factors into account, we expect yields to remain range bound in the near term. Therefore, we expect the accrual strategy to do well as the current term premium is on the higher side. At the same time, there is not much to expect from a duration play. In the equity market the earnings growth, which markets have been craving for almost a decade looks possible in coming times. This looks possible mainly because of the business transformation which has happened in last six/eight months. However, the markets may remain volatile in the near term because of various geopolitical issues. We wish everyone a happy festive season.
