0.7%, respectively. A rally in shares of healthcare, consumer durables, oil & gas and metal firms supported the market.
On the macro front India’s annual infrastructure output grew 6.7% in June, YoY. Going forward we expect the market to inch
northward on the back of a good earnings season, and good monsoon though a larger part of the movement may be dictated by
the development on the global front.

The on the run, 7.17% Gsec 2028, yield closed lower by 2bps to settle at 7.76% on August 3 as against 7.78% on July 27
In line with market expectations, the monetary policy committee (MPC) of the Reserve Bank hiked repo rate by 25 basis points to
6.50% in its third bi-monthly monetary policy review of 2018-19.
We feel the 10yr gsec yield around the 7.80% level have priced in the rising oil prices, higher inflation and the rupee movement.
We expect the 10-year G-sec yield to trade in a range of 7.60%-7.70% in near term , with a downward bias.
