The World This Week
Oct 12 – Oct 16, 2015
Equity View:
Markets are trading around 8200 levels but some amount of value buying was done when the levels were
near 7500 with the expectation of better Q2 results. The earnings season has just begun and results are
expected to be in line with those published in the quarter ending June. There have been few positive
surprises so far in large cap IT, Energy and Financials but it is too early to comment and we expect
markets to remain around levels of 8000 with a range of +/-5%.
Domestic macro economic factors are supportive with robust IIP (Index for Industrial Production); CPI
(Consumer Price Index) being well below the RBI target could prompt us to be cautiously optimistic about
the markets. There are few sectors like 1st generation private sector banks, housing finance companies
and a few stocks of automobile sector (especially commercial vehicles, MHCV) which could perform well.
The GDP of China came out at 6.9% which was already discounted by the markets. It is expected that
China’s GDP will continue to remain between 6.9% - 7.5% for next 1 – 2 years. The Volkswagen incident
can benefit other companies at a global level like Jaguar and Land Rover but certainly not Maruti because
the target segments are way different.
News:
DOMESTIC MACRO:
Reserve Bank of India Governor Raghuram Rajan said on Monday the government needed to put
conditions in place for sustainable growth, without resorting to populist policies
India's industrial output grew a better-than-expected 6.4 percent in August compared with a
downwardly revised 4.1 percent growth a month ago, government data showed on Monday.
.GLOBAL MACRO
Euro
Deutsche Bank's (DBKGn.DE) shares rose more than 3 percent on Monday as investors welcomed
Chief Executive John Cryan's plan to restructure the German bank and cull managers in a move to
cut costs and put past scandals behind it.
The European Central Bank welcomed on Monday a draft Italian law giving the Bank of Italy
powers to resolve failing banks and investment firms.
United States
U.S. consumer sentiment rebounded strongly in early October, suggesting that the economic
recovery remained on track despite headwinds from a strong dollar and weak global demand that
have weighed on the industrial sector, particularly manufacturing.
U.S. housing stocks could be in for a boost if September data due out next week confirms
strength that market watchers expect.
China
Oil prices fell on Monday on concerns about the pace of economic growth in China, the world's
largest energy consumer, and signs that global oversupply is curbing Saudi crude exports
China's economic growth dipped below 7 percent for the first time since the global financial crisis
on Monday, hurt partly by cooling investment, raising pressure on Beijing to further cut interest
rates and take other measures to stoke activity.
