- Global equity markets ended the week higher led by emerging markets, despite declines on Friday due to growth concerns and Eurozone issues. IMF lowered global and many country growth forecasts.

We believe, as the RBI gains comfort with growth picking-up, the first nudge would be to move the short-term rates closer to the mid-point of the policy rate corridor.
Our „VCTS‟ framework is currently indicating that, Valuations - are reasonable for long term investments, Cycle – Business Cycle has bottomed out, Trigger would be the trajectory of COVID-19 growth curve and vaccine development and Sentiments – around equity as an asset class is negative due to muted past returns and relatively low FPI flows. We recommend that it is a good time to accumulate equities and stay invested for long term across market cycles.
Currently, valuations seem reasonable for long term investment, Business Cycle has bottomed out and relatively low FII flows have been recorded. Our framework suggests that it is time to accumulate equities and stay invested for long term.

• Bank credit growth rose 6.2% on-year in the fortnight ended June 5, 2020, compared with 6.5% on-year growth reported in the fortnight ended May 8, 2020.
Indian markets could open flat and remain range-bound with a positive bias. Auto, Banks, Pharma could relatively outperform. Immediate support for Nifty is at 8350 level, while immediate resistance is at 8515 level.
Many people often misconstrue savings with investments. But let us tell you that there is indeed a difference between the two. Merely putting aside money under the mattress, or in a vault, bank locker or savings bank account after meeting your expenses and liabilities may not mean that money works for you. In times where the inflation bug is eating into your earnings, you need to move a step forward and invest. More importantly, invest wisely! By now many of you may have realized that there is indeed a difference between saving and investing. So let’s delve a little deeper and understand the difference between the two…which can help us march forward in our journey of wealth creation.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Weekly market review July 20, 2012
1. Market Review
WEEK ENDED JULY 20, 2012
International
Global equity markets closed the week on a positive note, despite the broad declines on Friday amidst growth
concerns and Eurozone issues. The MSCI AC World Index closed the week up 0.56% led mainly by Emerging
Markets. As per IMF, the global economy is set to expand by 3.5% this year, slightly less than the 3.6% estimated
back in April. Growth expectations for 2013 were also revised down to 3.9% from 4.1%.Trend in growth revisions
was divergent across economies – while Japan, Spain and Canada are estimated to expand at a faster pace than
earlier, growth forecasts for UK and industrialized Asian economies were cut sharply. GDP in EM/BRIC
economies is also expected to increase at a slower pace than before. Global benchmark bond yields eased further
this week as weak economic data pattern continued. The Reuters Jefferies CRB index clocked sharp gains (up
3.61%) as various agri-commodity prices moved up on supply concerns and crude oil prices responded to
escalating geo-political tensions in the Middle East. The euro lost ground as Spanish borrowing costs spiraled
higher and ECB said it would stop accepting Greek sovereign bonds as collateral.
• Asia-Pacific: Regional equity markets fared better than global counterparts helped by gains in Hong
Kong, Australia and Indonesia. Stocks in Shanghai however declined led by fall in property stocks. The
Chinese government ordered local authorities to tighten rules after data showed real estate price rose in
various cities. In a move to encourage more overseas investment, the government reduced taxation rates for
foreign companies domiciled in countries that have a double taxation treaty with China. Data showed that
Chinese inbound FDI declined by 7% in June. On the M&A front, Citic Securities agreed to buy Credit
Agricole’s Asian CLSA unit for $1.25 bln and Heineken made a $4 bln offer for acquiring rest of Asia-
Pacific Breweries. Also Thailand’s PTT Exploration won the race to acquire Cove Energy after Royal
Dutch Shell abandoned its bid.
• Europe: Weak market sentiment on Friday led the FTSE 100 to close the week in negative territory.
German and French markets fared relatively well and closed up. Concerns about Spain increased
following a disappointing bond auction and expectations growth will remain weak for next couple of
years. ECB said it will no longer accept Greek sovereign bonds as collateral. On the economic front,
Eurozone trade surplus expanded in May as exports got a boost from a weak euro and imports were
flat. The German ZEW expectations survey index continued to trend lower but the extent of decline
was less compared to last month. UK’s unemployment rate eased to 8.1% from 8.2% as the London
Olympics helped add jobs. Increased violence in Syria led residents to flee to neighbouring countries.
• Americas: US equity indices moved up this week on the back of positive earnings announcements
from select large corporates. On the economic front, the Fed’s Beige Book survey of business conditions
painted a picture of modest economic growth. Industrial production rose 0.4% in June while retail sales
registered their third consecutive decline. Housing data was mixed – while sales of pre-occupied homes
fell, new construction hit multi-year highs and the median price of homes stood 8% higher than year
ago levels. In Canada, fall in fuel prices led the consumer price index to ease more than expected. On
the M&A front, GSK is buying US-based Human Genome Sciences for $3.6 bln.

India - Equity
Indian equity markets were range-bound this week and frontline indices closed marginally lower than last week
levels.Amongst sectoral indices, consumer durables, FMCG and healthcare stocks notched gains while real estate,
auto and power stocks posted declines. Amongst auto stocks, Maruti Suzuki came under pressure owing to
industrial unrest at one of its manufacturing plants. FIIs bought equities to the tune of $275 mln in the first four
trading days of the week.
• Macro: As per IMF’s latest assessment of the global economy, growth momentum has slowed in various
Emerging Economies including India reflecting the weaker external environment as well as moderation in
domestic demand. The IMF now expects India’s economy to grow by 6.1% (6.8% previously) and 6.5%
(7.2% previously) in 2012 and 2013 respectively. Despite the slowdown, on a relative basis, growth rates
still continue to better than that of developed counterparts (2012 growth pegged at 1.4% for advanced
economies) and are also ahead of the overall EM growth rate of 5.6%.
As we have been saying, the reasons for the slowdown in the Indian economy are largely local in nature.
While interest rates remain high, the RBI has been right in pointing out that the ongoing slowdown is
much due to policy issues. India has been witnessing a slowdown in investment growth due to policy
uncertainty and this needs to be addressed. Also the structural issues such as supply bottlenecks need to be
resolved for a long term solution to inflation.
This policy gridlock stems from coalition politics, which has become the norm in India over the last
decade or so. Political wrangling has resulted in reforms in key areas being stalled in recent years.There is
a constant tension within the ruling government as the smaller parties look to push through their agenda
and the larger party looks to build policy consensus. Notwithstanding the slow pace of changes, it is
important to recognize that despite the change in governments, the broad direction of the reform
programme has been positive. In that sense, it is just the democratic process playing out.

India - Debt
Lower than expected headline inflation numbers and hopes the government will push forth with reforms and fiscal
consolidation helped Indian bond yields ease slightly this week. Hawkish comments by RBI however curbed gains.
• Yield Movements: Yields at the shorter end of the yield curve eased more than those at the long end as
liquidity conditions improved.While the 1-year gilt yield ended 13 bps lower, the 10-year and 30-year Indian
benchmark treasury bond yields dipped 2 bps from last week’s level. Consequently the yield curve steepened
and spreads between short (1-year) and long dated (30-year) paper increased to 66 bps from 55 bps.
• Liquidity/ Borrowings: Liquidity situation remained easy – overnight call money rates hovered around 8%
levels earlier and repos averaged about Rs.55,000 crores. Scheduled auctions of four GOI securities of Rs.
15,000 crores received bids worth Rs. 33,000 crores.
• Forex: The Indian rupee closed the week marginally weaker against the US dollar following dollar demand
from oil and defence firms. As of July 13, forex reserves stood at $286.7 bln, $872.7 mln lower than last week
levels.

• Inflation trends: As per latest data, deposit and credit growth decelerated to 13.4% yoy (from 14.3%) and
16.5% (from 17.8%) previously. Consequently the loan-deposit ratio eased from highs of 77.1% to 76.4%.While
overall GDP growth and corporate capex have slowed in recent times, credit growth continues to be relatively
robust possibly due to increased demand for working capital.
