Equity & MIPMarket UpdateA weak month for the equity marketsAfter a strong performance through most part of 2014 and also early this year, the Indian equity markets shed some of the gains during March 2015. The market indices recorded their worst monthly performance in over 2 years (i.e. since February 2013). However, not all newsflows on the domestic front were negative in nature. The government was able to pass three key reform bills during the ongoing session of the parliament viz Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in insurance, Coal Mines Bill and Mines & Minerals regulation. However, there was disappointment on the crucial Land Acquisition Bill as the government failed to convince the opposition parties on the changes proposed in the bill and hence has been deferred. Also, in a clear positive deviation from past, the first half of the Budget session saw both houses of the parliament clocking very high productivity levels. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on the other hand, stuck to its monetary easing cycle by cutting the repo rate by 25 basis points (bps) in a surprise inter policy move. This is the second rate cut in the current cycle and came just after the Union Budget. Externally, the unfolding of geo-political issues in Yemen and its likely impact on crude oil price had a bearing on the equity market performance during the month.

The domestic market indices S&P BSE Sensex and Nifty were down 4.8% & 4.6% respectively during the month. Amongst the sectors, Healthcare and Telecom were the best performers while Metals, Utilities and Financials were at the other end of the spectrum with weak performances for the month.

Data on Institutional FlowsDespite the weakness seen in the equity markets, the institutional segment led by FIIs (Foreign Institutional Investors) and domestic Mutual Funds continued to be net buyers during the month. The FII segment net bought Indian equities worth ~USD 1.69 billion and their year-to-date (YTD) tally now stands at USD 6 billion. The MF segment saw net buying of ~USD 631 million and has so far net bought equities worth ~USD 1.46 billion this calendar year. The Domestic insurers on the other hand continued to witness selling and they have so far net sold equities worth USD 2.44 billion this year.

Trade deficit data Trade deficit at ~USD 6.8 billion for February 2015 (vs. USD 8.3 billion in January 2015), fell due to a sharp decline in the oil imports (~56%), which resulted in a 15.7% year-on-year (YoY) decline in the overall imports at ~USD 28.4 billion. However, non-oil, non-gold import growth accelerated, led by capital goods segment indicating a gradual recovery in the domestic demand scenario. Exports at ~USD 21.5 billion for February 2015 (vs. ~USD 23.9 billion for January 2015) also showed a decline of 15% (YoY) and the trend was broad based with the two bigger items in the basket viz engineering and gems & jewelry also reporting declines for the month.Inflation & Industrial Growth

Inflation data:The Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation for February 2015 came slightly above consensus expectations at 5.4% (YoY, vs. 5.2% for January 2015). The marginal rise in inflation was on account of base effect and the impact of unseasonal rains which led to higher vegetable and food inflation. The core CPI inflation however decelerated to 3.9% (YoY vs. 4% in January 2015). The Wholesale Price Index (WPI) inflation continued on a deflationary path at -2.1% for February 2015 (YoY, vs. -0.4% in January 2015) and also marked the fourth consecutive month of YoY decline in inflation. This deflationary momentum has been on account of the subdued global crude oil and commodity prices. The food inflation also saw a marginal decline despite the impact of the unseasonal weather pattern.

Industrial Production data:The Industrial production growth decelerated during January 2015 to 2.6% (YoY) but came better than consensus expectations of around 0.7% growth. The data for December 2014 was revised upward to 3.2% from 1.7% (YoY) earlier. The moderation in growth from the previous month was due to contraction in consumer and intermediate goods, while the growth in capital goods segment helped to post a better growth than consensus estimates.

Global Economic ScenarioDuring the March 2015 FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) meeting, the US Federal Reserve (Fed) statements were more dovish than expected. The Fed also indicated that a rate hike decision in April 2015 was unlikely and the market expectations of the first rate hike have now moved to June/September 2015. The Fed dropped the ‘patient’ forward guidance language, clearing the way for tightening of rates later this year but the pace of tightening would be slower than previously anticipated. The policymakers also significantly revised their economic forecasts as well as their interest rate expectations to be more in line with market expectations. This meeting outcome indicates that the Fed would like to avoid excess market volatility around the rate decision, thereby adopting a cautious approach to the policy normalisation process. Elsewhere in the Middle East; Saudi Arabia and its Gulf Arab allies launched military operations to counter the Houthi rebels in Yemen. The geopolitical issues in Yemen had an adverse bearing on the equity market performance given its likely impact on the global crude oil price. Going Forward

Equity markets saw some profit booking process during March 2015, given the the strong performance for most part of the past twelve months. The external newsflow on the Yemen crisis impacted the sentiments adversely but the domestic newsflows were not all negative in nature. Some of the long pending legislations such as the FDI in Insurance were passed during the budget session and the first leg of the session also clocked high productivity levels unlike in the recent past. There are high hopes from the current government, especially on the reform roadmap and the government has so far taken a measured path with a focus on long term impact rather than any immediate shake-ups or short term measures. The Union budget also walked a similar path and focused on achieving a sustainable but higher medium term growth trajectory for the economy. The government‘s intent on pushing ahead with the reform measures was on display when they promulgated ordinances and also deliberated on the crucial Land acquisition bill in the ongoing budget session. The corporate result season for March 2015 quarter will kick-off from April 2015 second week but is likely to be lacking of any positive triggers, similar to that of the previous quarter. We do not expect the picture to change dramatically in the first quarter of FY16 as well and see chances of downward revision in earnings estimates for the near term.Having said that, the bigger picture in India is still unmistakably positive. Investors should be mindful of the risks but at the same time one should not get bogged down with the many issues that are likely to come up.Looking forward, we expect India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to recover from three years of below trend growth and accelerate further on the back of some structural reforms as and when initiated. The market valuations are nudging above historical averages, but the catalysts led by affirmative government action, could drive earnings growth and a re-rating later on. Investments have not picked up yet, but a gradual return of capital and an enabling environment can unleash a multi-year cycle. We stay positive on equities and urge investors to stay invested & keep investing incrementally too, and look at this asset class as an avenue for long term wealth creation.

DebtEconomic Events and Data

RBI’s First Bi-Monthly Monetary PolicyThe Reserve Bank of India (RBI) kept key policy rates unchanged in its first bi-monthly credit policy released on April 07, 2015 Domestic EconomyThe domestic activity is likely to have strengthened in the fourth quarter of the financial year 2014-15 (Q4FY15). The adverse impact of unseasonal rain and hailstorm are yet to be precisely esti-mated. The manufacturing activity has regained some momentum, whereas service sector activity has remained neutral. The RBI expects the growth outlook to improve marginally. Comfortable liquidity conditions should enable banks to transmit recent reduction in policy rates. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth estimates by the Central Statistical Organisation (CSO) have already projected a robust pick up. However, lead indicators indicate a downward revision when fuller information on real activity for Q4FY15 becomes available. Moreover, the uncertainties regarding arrival and distribution pattern of monsoon and unanticipated global developments remain major risk to GDP estimates, going forward. Based on the expectation of a normal monsoon, the continuation of cyclical upturn and lack of any structural shocks, the RBI expects growth to be at 7.8% in the financial year 2015-16 (FY16).External MarketsExport performance has been progressively weakening due to lower non-oil and petroleum ex-ports. Fragile external demand and softness in commodity prices have taken a toll, similar to sev-eral emerging markets in Asia. Export of services has been a silver lining and has helped in holding Current Account Deficit (CAD) lower. Capital flows in domestic markets and Foreign Direct Invest-ment (FDI) has helped the growth of reserves to an all time peak of USD 343 billion. These re-serves and forward purchases to be delivered in next few months provide some buffer against po-tential capital outflows when monetary policy normalisation in advanced economies commences. Monetary policy focuses on disinflation of economy gradually and durably. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation target remains at 6% by January 2016 and 4% at end of FY2017-18. The Central Bank expects CPI inflation to reach 4% during FY16 but would gradually end FY16 at 5.8%. The RBI would intend to spread disinflationary momentum in the economy, though it would remain vigilant on resurgence of inflationary pressures.Going forward, accommodative monetary policy stance will be maintained but policy action would be conditioned on the incoming economic data. The RBI is looking at some of the following events to trigger action:

• Transmission by banks of RBI’s front loaded rates reduction in January and February 2015 into their lending rates

• Development in sectoral prices especially food, though the RBI will look through both seasonal as well as base effect

• Progress on repurposing of public spending from poorly targeted subsidies• Reduction in pipeline of stalled investments• Signs of normalisation of the US monetary policy, though India is anticipated to be better

buffered against volatilityThe CPI inflation inches up owing to food pricesRetail inflation in the form of the CPI firmed up for the third successive month in February 2015. Whereas, inflation excluding food and fuel fell successively in nine months till February 2015. A large part of disinflation has been on account of the slump in international crude oil prices feeding into domestic fuel prices. Housing inflation and rural wages have eased in this period. Wholesale Price Index (WPI) inflation continues to surprise on downside at -2.06% in February 2015. The decline remains fairly broad based, but bulk of the drop is coming from the fuel, minerals and non-food primary articles. Index of Industrial Production (IIP) surprises on upside The Industrial production growth decelerated during January 2015 to 2.6% (YoY). The data for December 2014 was revised upward to 3.2% from 1.7% (YoY) earlier. The moderation in growth from the previous month was due to contraction in consumer and intermediate goods, while the growth in capital goods segment helped to post a better growth than consensus estimates.Current Account Deficit (CAD) improved in 4QCY14CAD for the last quarter of previous calendar year (CY2014) improved to 1.6% of the GDP, from 2.0% in the previous quarter. The improvement was driven by lower oil imports as well as an increase in the services exports due to improvement in travel and software services earnings. The Balance of Payments (BoP) was in surplus on account of net Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), portfolio inflows and banking capital.

Market ActivityThe bond markets largely remained range bound during the month of March 2015 with benchmark oscillating between 7.70% and 7.80%. Positive triggers from the Union Budget, FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) meeting and absence of primary supply resulted in Government Securities (G-sec) yield softening. However, higher than expected CPI inflation, IIP data and financial year closing led to selling bias from market participants. The corporate bond segment on the other hand continued to remain resilient with huge supply in the mid to long end segment, which was fully absorbed by end investors and FPI’s. The spreads (yield spread between G-sec and corporate bond) were supported by non-availability of sovereign limits for offshore investors as flows remained strong.Pro-active liquidity management by the RBI negated any adverse impact of seasonal tightening and advance tax outflows as the overnight rates remained well anchored around the repo rate. However, money market rates saw some hardening as issuances by the banks and corporates increased as expected to meet financial year end demand and to meet balance sheet growth.

Global Economic ScenarioThe US Federal Reserve (Fed) removed its ‘Patient’ guidance in its March 2015 FOMC meeting. This was largely as per market expectation, however surprise was in form of significant downward revision of the ‘dots’, or forecasts. The end-2015 median dot for the Federal Funds Target Rate (FFTR) was reduced to 0.625% from 1.125%, the end-2016 dot to 1.875% from 2.5% and the end-2017 dot to 3.125% from 3.625%. The Fed also reduced its growth and inflation forecast and signified that policy rate decisions will be more data dependent. The Committee also lowered its long-term forecasts for the natural rate of unemployment. These announcements resulted in stocks and bonds rallying sharply, while the US dollar sold off.

Going ForwardTransmission of the recent rate cuts is the main trigger that the RBI is looking at with priority. We expect inflation trends ease and the supply side bottlenecks to reduce due to government initiatives/policies, which will pave the way for rate reduction in second half of the year.Next couple of months might witness higher net supply of G-Sec resulting in range-bound bond prices. Moreover, accommodative policy stance, lower CPI readings, comfortable & accommodative liquidity scenario, soft crude prices, tepid credit growth may ensure bonds to achieve lower levels over couple of quarters augur well for maintaining duration bias on INR rates.Source: Bloomberg, for all data except where mentioned otherwise
