- The Indian stock market rose last week as the rupee stabilized around 65 levels against the dollar due to measures by the new RBI governor to provide short-term support to the currency.
- Factory activity in India contracted for the first time in over four years in August, while euro zone sentiment turned positive for the first time in more than two years.
- The report recommends remaining cautious on banking stocks and prefers sectors like IT, pharma, FMCG and telecom.
Equity View:
Markets are moving into earnings season and initial results of few corporate entities seem good enough,
starting with Indusind Bank followed by Infosys. The numbers of these companies were expected to come
out well thus this outcome is not surprising from sectors like Private Sector Banks, IT, FMCG and Pharma
which are expected to perform well. There are few sectors like Capital Goods, Public Sector Banks and old
Infra Companies which can show subdued results. We expect domestic factors like government policies
to drive the market in absence of global cues. IIP data is set to come out today and is expected to be flat;
Inflation is also expected to be higher due to base effect.
Real estate markets have a cycle of around 5 – 7 years thus an off-take seems distant, however buying
could initiate after 2 – 3 years. A rate cut acts as a catalyst but it cannot help in a sudden pick-up of
demand.
There is always a trend and a counter trend in the movement of an asset class. We need to see the long
term trend. In commodities there is bearish long term trend so counter trend is bullish and thus,
currently we are seeing a counter trend in this asset. Similarly, if we have a bullish long term trend for
equity markets then from time to time there would be correction which is also happening now and this is
known as counter trend. The incremental savings of the government can either be used in the form of an
investment, subsidies or 7th Pay commission arrears. This definitely leads to correction in equity markets
but it doesn’t lead to bearish phase. If everyone is hopeful about the turnaround of Indian story and
economic revival then no one exits completely from the stock markets. Larger expectations are that
investments will certainly pick up and we all are hopeful about it.

The World This Week - 03rd Aug to 08th Aug, 2015
As expected rates were kept unchanged in the RBI credit policy last week but the tone of the policy along with macro economic factors suggest that there could be a chance of rate cut in the next credit policy which is due on 29th September or even before that. The only concern is distribution of monsoon which is very uneven so if monsoon plays out properly then the rates may be cut. The change witnessed from previous credit policy to this one is the probability of another rate cut happening in this calendar year has increased from 50% to 75%. There would be certain consequences of a rate cut. Sectors which would benefit are stable businesses like Auto, Private Banks, and NBFC etc. Sectors like infrastructure, manufacturing, high capital intensive business which are facing problems of raising capital, inadequate profitability etc would still struggle despite a rate cut. Know
The markets have started on a somber note. As discussed in the past that markets were at tiring levels of 8600, a 3% correction was expected in last one month. it would be an approximate fall of 7% after today’s correction which is in line with developed markets. The US markets fall of ~7.5% in last one month has impacted Y-O-Y returns from 17% to 3%. India on the other hand, is considered to be an outperformer as compared to other emerging markets like Brazil, Australia, Indonesia, etc however a further correction of 3% - 4% cannot be ruled out. The mid cap index is fairly resilient but people should stay away from low quality high beta mid cap stocks and if investments are existing then profit booking followed by exiting these stocks is suggested.
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.
After the uncertainty of the Brexit verdict got over, the market rallied in the last week. The market got off on the
wrong foot on the day of the Referendum results and corrected by almost 1000 points. But the market soon
realized that the renewal in trade agreement between UK and Euro is not going to happen anytime soon and it will
take around 1-2 years. India being an emerging nation, the impact of this event is quite limited. After this the
market resumed its upt uptrend. Since budget, the nifty is up by 1000 points, and in percentage terms it has gained
22%. We should remember that it is still 10% off of the it’s all time high, which was achieved in March 2015.
• Despite the fact that the PE multiple of the Indian Markets is 17 – 18 times, the FIIs continue to invest in India on
account of better growth prospects, better earning visibility. India is the only trillion dollar economy which is
growing on 7.5%, which makes it a lucrative long term story.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.

Equity View:
Last week we saw a 3.5% gain in Sensex and more importantly a bounce back in Rupee with the Rupee
closing around 65 levels against the Dollar v/s the 68 levels which it had breached last Tuesday. This is on
the back of some new announcements and measures being introduced by the new RBI governor Mr.
Raghuram Rajan. Raising money by Indian banks outside India has been made a bit easier. Various
measures which have been announced definitely provide a short term cushion for the Rupee. But we still
want to “wait and watch” as to what levels the Rupee actually stabilizes upon. As we’ve been maintaining
earlier, stability in other asset classes be it Equity or Debt will emerge only once Rupee has declined.
Last week we also saw the announcement of extension of ‘Joint currency Swap Line’ between India and
Japan from $15 bn to $50 bn. This will also provide some short term cushion to the Rupee and we believe
that in the short term the downward pressure on the Rupee should subside and Rupee should look
towards some stability.
The big announcement that we are expecting from U.S. Fed on 16th
and 17th
of this month is one in which
we would know what quantum of tapering is being carried out for the ongoing QE3 program. For now we
continue to expect that there will be some tapering, the extent of that is difficult to predict. On the whole
markets are expecting that from $85 bn a month of mortgage buying, Fed may taper the same down to
$60 bn or $70 bn a month. There would be some tapering although the quantum of that is still unknown.
There is some level of discounting which is already done by the markets across the world. We believe
that a small tapering would result in a non-event as that has been already discounted by the market.
We also have the Indian Monetary policy with the new Governor on the 20th
of September. There are no
signs that there would be any easing as far as the interest rates are concerned and we expect the interest
rates to stay high for next few months. We would expect some more measures as far as the oil prices are
concerned and that would result in further inflation pressures. Therefore we would not expect any kind
of reversal of monetary tightening that the RBI had carried out in the last few months. We believe that
the high interest rates are there to stay in the short term.
As far as the Equity markets are concerned, we saw a very sharp bounce back in most of the Banking
names last week. It was the Private Sector Banking names that bounced to the extent of 10% – 20%. We
still don’t believe that we’ve seen the worst as far as Banking space is concerned. Our recommendation
remains the same - we would neither recommend buying banking stocks nor selling them. We still would
want to wait as to what kind of announcements happen from U.S. Fed and what kind of measures RBI
announces towards the second half of this month. We believe that there will be definite asset quality
pressures in most of the Banking names in this quarter. As growth has slowed down, we would see
further stress in most of the big corporate accounts. Our view on banking space remains cautious.
As far as the preferred sectors are concerned, we continue to like IT and Pharma followed by FMCG and
Telecom. We saw an announcement by Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) last week which
talked about cut and spectrum based prices which would definitely be a big positive for the Telecom
space. We believe that going forward the macros of the Telecom space are getting quite better. We
would see some kind of stabilization as far as a competitive scenario is concerned.
3. 3
We’ve already seen pricing power return to most of the larger players and if the sector pricing also comes
down that would further push profitability for most of the companies. Hence, we are overweight on
Telecom sector at this point of time.

DOMESTIC MACRO:
Indian factory activity shrank for the first time in more than four years last month with the HSBC
Manufacturing PMI sank to 48.5 in August from 50.1 in July, the lowest reading since March 2009.
New Reserve Bank of India (RBI) chief Raghuram Rajan kicked-off his term with announcing a spate
of measures to support the embattled rupee.
• Rajan outlined the plan to attract more funds from non-resident Indians (NRIs) as part of
a broader push to lure inflows by offering a swap window to banks for fresh dollar
deposits mobilized from non-resident Indians.
• The central bank will also offer forex swap into rupees at a concessional rate below
market levels for banks that raise dollar funds through overseas borrowings.
• Overseas borrowing limit for the banks has been doubled than it was earlier.
• Banks should gradually be allowed to decrease their mandatory holdings of government
securities, which would free up capital for lending.
GLOBAL MACRO
EURO
Greece's economy shrank 3.8 percent in the second quarter, the smallest annual decline in nearly
three years which was better than an initial estimate in August of a 4.6 percent contraction.
Euro zone sentiment turned positive for the first time in more than two years in September with
index tracking investor sentiment in the euro zone swung to 6.5 points, its highest level since May
2011, from -4.9 points in August.
USA
The U.S. manufacturing sector grew last month at its fastest pace in more than two years, with the
Institute for Supply Management's (ISM) index rising to 55.7 in August from 55.4 the prior month.
U.S. job creation probably picked up in August and is seen steady at a 4-1/2-year low of 7.4 percent
resulting Federal Reserve to start scaling back its massive monetary stimulus this month.
China
China's factory activity expanded for the first time in four months in August with final Markit/HSBC
