DOMESTIC & GLOBAL DEVELOPMENTS:
The release of upbeat domestic economic
data, including a 22.4% growth in the March
2021 Index of Industrial Production (IIP) and
ease in the March 2021 retail and wholesale
inflation, also supported sentiments
In May, the RBI injected Rs 500 billion as
emergency liquidity support to boost health
infrastructure and additional loan
restructuring schemes The RBI also said that
it will transfer surplus of Rs 991.22 billion to
the government. (Source: RBI)

DOMESTIC & GLOBAL DEVELOPMENTS:
Markets were also supported by tracking
similar gains in global markets after
factoring in strong US labour data,
indicating an uptick in employment and
economic activity, and as the US GDP rose
6.4% in the first quarter of 2021, unchanged
from the previous estimate, and higher than
the 4.3% growth seen in the last quarter of
2020
However, further rise in the market was
capped as investors remained cautious
ahead of the US Fed monetary policy
meeting June. Improving US economic
indicators raised worries among investors
that the policymakers may taper the bond
buying programme earlier than expected
Indian MarketUpdate
Outlook & Triggers
Major global indices continued their upward trend for the 2nd
consecutive month except for few Asian countries. Positive performance
sustained as major developed economies are well past their COVID-19 peaks, targeted and on-going vaccination drives have been
implemented successfully as a result of which there is a decent pick-up in demand and subsequently inflation. Indian Equity Markets (Nifty
50 Index) surged 6.5% during the month due to decline in COVID-19 cases, ease of lockdown like restrictions in some states and good
earnings season. However, markets may remain vigilant and take further cues from the outcome of upcoming June Federal Open Market
Committee i.e. FOMC meeting.( Source: CRISIL)
Globally, Developed Market (DM) rally was led by Europe with a significant rise in demand especially pent-up household demand post
COVID second wave. Large US fiscal support too, have helped DM. China performed well despite weak economic activities as Chinese
Yuan (CNY) appreciated against the US Dollar and the Hang Seng Index saw some adjustments during the month to better reflect market
dynamics. This was seen as a positive. Asian countries like Taiwan, Singapore, and Indonesia underperformed due to COVID resurgence
and slow vaccine roll-out. ( Source: CRISIL)
Indian Markets did well as investors rejoiced moderation in COVID-19 cases, good earnings season and lifting up of restrictions in some
states. Continued liquidity support by Global Central Banks, firm global markets and demand also aided positive sentiments. Domestic
Institutional Investors (DIIs) were more active than the Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs). The RBI announced several liquidity measures to
help banks support healthcare, infrastructure and small borrowers impacted by 2nd
COVID wave. The key triggers for Indian markets going
forward can be 1) any policy measures, 2) the pace and quality of vaccination drives, 3) further lockdowns in certain parts restricting
mobility and economic activities and 4) pace of implementation of Govt. reforms measures mentioned in the budget to revive economy.
On the macro front, India released its 4QFY21 & FY21 GDP data which came in at 1.6% and -7.3% respectively much better than estimated.
The April Composite PMI (Purchasing Manager’s Index) data held steady above the 50 mark at 55.4. April CPI inflation declined to 4.3%
from 5.5% in March. March IIP rose 22.4% in March on account of favorable base effects compared to last year. ( Source: CRISIL)
In sectoral trends, Power, Capital Goods, etc. were key contributors, while Telecom was a key laggard. (Source: NSE)
We believe, economic recovery though delayed continues to remain on track as the domestically, Govt. and RBI are taking active measures
to spur growth through structural reforms and globally, economies continue to support Growth with various fiscal & monetary stimulus
measures. With developed economies reporting strong set of activity numbers, demand recovery is expected which may benefit Indian
exports. The current macro-economic scenario is much more conducive for a Business Cycle Recovery as we are at nascent stage of
economic cycle and sentiments too are not euphoric. We continue to remain positive on sectors which are closely linked to the economy
like Banks, Capital Goods, Infrastructure, Metals & Mining, etc. We believe Indian markets may recover and do well until the following
triggers play out - US acknowledging inflation & in conclusion pausing stimulus and US Treasury Yields reaching 2%.
