The RBI held interest rates steady against expectations due to concerns over seasonal food price inflation. The governor said rates may rise in 6 months if food inflation does not cool. US Federal Reserve began tapering bond purchases as expected due to strong economic growth. Indian IT and export sectors are expected to benefit from the recovery in the US economy. Bank earnings this quarter are forecast to improve over the last two quarters.
The unabated rise in Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) of
the Indian banking sector is a cause for concern for the
economy. Due to this reason, the Economic Survey de-
voted considerable attention to what it terms India’s
Twin Balance Sheet problem - overleveraged and dis-
tressed companies and the rising NPAs in Public Sector
Bank balance sheets. The issue is important because it is
holding up private investment in the country and there-
fore, growth across all sectors. Some of the major rea-
sons for increase in NPAs of banks are the subdued do-
mestic demand conditions and no signs of a turnaround
in private investment along with continuing uncertainty
in the global markets leading to lower exports of various
products like textiles, engineering goods, leather, gems,
etc.

Dear Investors,
September saw a spillover of the previous month’s equity
market correction. The main reason for this was the continuing
bleak global events, which also negated domestic macro greenshoots to a large extent. In the West, the possibility of a US Fed
rate hike lingers, keeping investors globally on their toes.
Amidst this global weakness, uncertainties of global markets
with respect to the Euro have reduced after Alexis Tsipras’
Syriza party returned to power once again in Greece, this time
with a majority. The Chinese government is also taking
initiatives like tightening trading rules on forex and stock
market to stabilize their economy. The slowdown in China in a
way has been India’s gain, which has led to India emerging as
the top destination for FDI investments, attracting $30 billion
by the end of June 2015.
Closer home, better looking green-shoots portray a recovering
economy. Industrial growth has been above 4% for the past 2
months, whereas retail inflation continues to remain lower.
Although there has been a double digit deficit in the rainfall
this year, RBI is not too much worried about the pressure on
the food prices given the comfort it has derived from the
actions by the government to manage supply. An addition to
these positives was RBI increasing the foreign investment limit
in central government securities. This will help create a new
pool of money to compensate for the lowering SLR imposed on
banks.
Markets rejoiced at the bonnes nouvelles (good news) of the
50 basis points rate cut by RBI at the fourth bi-monthly
meeting. The main objective behind this was to enhance
growth in the economy. Mr. Raghuram Rajan hopes that
investment should respond more strongly after some certainty
about the extent of monetary stimulus in pipeline, even if the
transmission is low. With this transmission, investments in the
real economy would increase. This announcement was then
followed by a highly ‘dovish’ stance, with the RBI repeating
that it would remain in an ‘accommodative mode’. The rate cut
has increased the cumulative rate cut this year to 125 bps. It is
hearting that banks like SBI has cut its base rate by 40 bps.
All in all, the month saw events that were unexpected, events
that created a yin-yang sentiment among investors and events
that made India shining more convincing. RBI has taken the
first bold step on its part. The question now is what the
government will do on its part to grow our economy!

Introduction of GST in the Rajya Sabha has significance because it could have been passed in the Lok Sabha also. However, Rajya Sabha is where the government does not have majority and since it’s a constitutional amendment that requires two thirds majority, convincing all the parties is a key milestone and to that extent, introduction and subsequent passage of the bill in the Rajya Sabha will be important.
•Earnings Data for 8 core industries including mining, infrastructure and electricity was received which indicated a growth by 5.2% which augers well. However, one needs to see if this is a onetime occurrence or will it continue. Also, since rainfall was moderate, by the end of July, rural consumption is expected to be strong. To that extent, GDP is likely to grow anywhere between 7.5-8% this year. The government’s earlier projections in the budget carry an upward bias.
Dear Investors,
The month of July has seen the heavens literally open their doors and shower their blessings on us. After a late start in June, the monsoon picked up
smartly and the country as a whole received abundant rainfall, bringing cheer to one and all and definitely a sense of relief. The same good cheer
seems to have percolated to the global equity markets as well. Having brushed off the Brexit issue, markets have continued their upward move
relentlessly through the month of July. The US benchmark index, the S&P 500 hit a new lifetime high earlier in the month on the back of good jobs
data and an optimistic view of growth in the US economy. Not wanting to be left out in any way, the Nifty set a new 52-week high and the Sensex
scaled 28,000.
The quarterly results have been a mixed bag so far. While there have been more hits than misses, the IT sector as a whole and some pharma
companies have been the major pockets of underperformance. Most of the private sector retail banks and NBFCs have shown a stellar performance,
while growth in public sector banks was stagnant due to liquidity and NPA issues. In the consumer space, lower costs have added to the profits of
several companies, but revenue growth and volume growth were disappointing. There is hope that these will see a significant pick up in the second
half of the financial year once the benefits of the 7th Pay Commission and a good monsoon kick in.
Global bond yields are at historical lows which mean global bond prices have rallied across developed markets while S&P 500 is close to its historical high. This by itself is a dichotomy as bond prices and equity prices are not expected to rally together at the same point. Either of the two has to be true.
•Bond prices and yields are inversely related therefore, bond prices rally when yields and interest rates are expected to be low. Interest rates are expected to be low because growth prospects are low. This would entail the central banks to cut rates and because the demand for credits will be low due to the low growth prospects, the yields are expected to be low which explains the rally in bond prices. Considering this, the rally in the equity markets is not possible as there is no expectation for growth. This is the dichotomy that the global world is at particularly in the developed markets. In the light of the current scenario, either of the two has to give in i.e. either bond prices correct leading to normalcy in yields or equity markets give in.
Dear Investors,
Billionaire investor Wilbur Ross said "Ultimately, I think it will be the world's most expensive divorce. But like most divorces, it's probably going to take a lot longer than it should." The Brexit vote to leave the European Union sent shock waves across the globe. Though the pre-poll surveys had indicated a close call, it was largely expected that sanity would prevail on referendum day and the British populace would vote to Remain. The ramifications of an eventual Brexit are likely to be long-drawn and far-reaching. Apart from the impact it has had on the currency markets, there is an imminent danger of other countries wanting to follow suit. This may lead to the ultimate breakdown of the EU, causing geo-political chaos with the danger of recession.
The equity markets seemed to have temporarily shrugged off the event. While the Sensex tanked by over 1000 points when the Brexit result was declared, it has since recovered all its losses and closed the month of June at a YTD high of almost 27,000. Though there may be individual stocks and sectors where revenues are likely to be directly impacted, the market as a whole has shown significant resilience, waiting as it were for Britain to formally initiate the process of exit before assessing its overall impact.

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.

Introduction to Indian Financial System ()Avanish Goel
The financial system of a country is an important tool for economic development of the country, as it helps in creation of wealth by linking savings with investments.
It facilitates the flow of funds form the households (savers) to business firms (investors) to aid in wealth creation and development of both the parties
2. Equity View:
RBI Policy announcement came on the 18th where against all expectations, RBI decided to hold on the
interest rates for long. The decision was taken essentially because the Governor believes that the food
and vegetable price inflation is seasonal and should go down in the next few months. The Governor also
made the point that if the food and vegetable price inflation did not cool down materially over the course
of 6 months, he might look for a rate hike.
Our own sense is that considering that two rate hikes have already been done in the last couple of
months, another hike will only happen if there is a sustainable rise in core (CPI) Consumer Price Inflation.
As we have mentioned earlier that RBI has now moved its inflation metric from (WPI) Wholesale Price
Index to (CPI) Consumer Price Index and more specifically Core (CPI) Consumer Price Index. The Core CPI
for last month was around 8% which is the same level what it was in the previous month hence we
believe that it is the key metric to watch out for. The headline CPI number is expected to stay at elevated
levels in the next few months. We believe that 10% - 11% is kind of a new normal and we don’t expect
CPI number to fall below 10% in the near future. The Core CPI might see some kind of cool off going
forward and we expect a number between 7% and 8%. We are not currently expecting a rate hike till
January policy.
In terms of global events we had a big U.S Federal reserve announcement of taper light as in a small
tapering of $10bn a month and this was largely expected because of the very strong macro economic
growth that the US economy has been seeing. We don’t believe that there is going to be any material
decrease in U.S quantitative easing till the time U.S fiscal issues has been addressed in the early part of
March. U.S GDP growth last quarter has been revised to 4.1% which is far higher than what was
estimated earlier and US economy seems to be doing extremely well and if we look at it in that light, now
U.S and India seem to be growing at a similar rate, our growth rate last quarter was 4.7% - 4.8%.
Considering the fact that U.S economy growth has bounced back very strongly and also because of the
unemployment numbers have been coming off, U.S Federal Reserve decided to start the tapering
process. Also this was the last policy announcement by Mr. Ben Bernanke who retired as a Fed Chief in
the 1st week of January and he probably wanted to start the tapering process before he retires.
On the whole, we believe that a strong U.S economy is positive for global growth. U.S continues to be a
engine or a driver of global growth and specially as far as India is concerned, the revival and growth that
we’ve been seeing in the last few months is specially driven by exports considering the fact that Indian
rupee has depreciated significantly in the last 1 year.
A significant revival in U.S economy will be beneficial to sectors like IT and textiles and we continue to
believe that this export led recovery in Indian growth will continue in the next few months. Basically
there is no reason for panic or worries about US tapering and we believe that US fiscal issues will need to
be addressed before we see any material change in the US monetary policy.
As far as emerging market equities are concerned, we continue to see a positive traction even despite U.S
tapering being announced on Thursday. Global equity markets and currency markets have reacted in a
positive way. We believe that the world is a lot more prepared to accept tapering today than what it was
when the tapering was first hinted at in the months of July and August.
3. In terms of India specific event which are going to impact the equity market, we are going to see the
beginning of Quarter 3 earnings season beginning on 9th January 2014 with the Infosys result. We expect
Indian IT companies to deliver a very set of strong numbers in the coming quarter. We believe that IT
sector is really going to be leading the earnings growth with around 15% - 20% Y-o-Y earnings growth. We
expect US revenue growth to be extremely strong around 5% - 6% on a Q-o-Q basis. That should give a
very healthy indicator in terms of revival of US economy and also in terms of fresh order inflows.
We continue to maintain a positive bias for banking space, both public and private sector banks will
deliver much more healthier results this quarter as compared to what they have been doing in last two
quarters.
