The Economy is painting a mixed picture at this point in
time. On one hand where, investments/Credit off-take/Industrial Growth &
Capacity Utilization still remains low….The growth is GDP numbers for first quarter
of new calendar year provides immediate relief.
Over past few quarters markets posted good returns on the
hopes that earnings will revive. However in line with our expectations
corporate earnings have not really picked up owing to poor demand in the
economy and lack of new investments by the corporate. Recently announced
earnings for the fourth quarter of 2014-15 have been muted & are expected
to be so at least for the next 2 quarters.
Subdued corporate earnings conjointly with volatility in crude
oil prices and international development, especially Federal Reserve’s decision
to hike interest rates, can result in further volatility inequity markets in
the near term.
In the short term, monsoon shall be an important trigger as
RBI too has suggested a conservative strategy to wait till there is more
clarity with respect to monsoon.
Our take:
It’s a very good opportunity to capitalize this corrections.
The under current is strong & such phase occurs in bull-run sighting
various negative news…recall-2005.
Debt market is more or less stable avoid chancing your skills
with Corporate Bond funds be reasonable & realistic to attain 9 percent tax
free with holding period of three year plus…
