DEBT MARKET REVIEW AND OUTLOOK
MARKET REVIEW
Yields headed north during the month as RBI gave a shock to the markets by hiking policy rates by 50 basis
points (bps) citing uncomfortably high inflation. The hawkishness was also carried out in the statements of the
central banks as they maintained that the policy stance would not change until inflation started trending
down. This only enhanced expectations of a further 25 bps hike on September 16th.
Short term yields including t-bills and CDs have all shot up owing to the RBI action and relatively similar levels
of liquidity tightness compared to June.
Key rate movements during the month are as under:
Instrument Jul '11 Jun '11 Mar ’11 Change YTD Change (MOM)
10 Yr Gsec 8.45% 8.33% 7.98% 0.47% 0.12% 30 Yr Gsec 8.72% 8.66% 8.36% 0.36% 0.06% 3 Yr AAA Bond 9.74% 9.62% 9.32% 0.42% 0.12% 5 Yr AAA Bond 9.46% 9.45% 9.14% 0.32% 0.01% 10 Yr AAA Bond 9.51% 9.44% 9.11% 0.40% 0.07% 364 Days Treasury Bill 8.45% 8.29% 7.58% 0.87% 0.16% 91 Days Treasury Bill 8.35% 8.18% 7.23% 1.12% 0.17% 1 Yr Certificate of Deposit 9.78% 9.75% 9.60% 0.18% 0.03% Crude $/barrel 97$ 95$ 100$ -3$ 2$

Macro Indicators
Index of Industrial output grew at 8.6% year-on-year (y-o-y) in June which turned out to be much
higher than consensus estimates of around 5.7%. This was the newly formed index which has a base
year of 2004-05 versus the old base of 1993-94. The surprising rise came because of the 37% jump in
capital goods sector. The Purchasing Manager’s Index (PMI) number for July has fallen from 55 to 53
levels and this could suggest a further slowdown in Index of Industrial Production (IIP) growth for the
upcoming month.
The June inflation came in at 9.22% against the consensus estimate of 9.2% owing to a 0.3% month-
on-month (m-o-m) rise in manufacturing prices. The MoF believes that 10% figure could be breached
by August; however the base effect could kick in later and bring down the headline inflation.

India’s trade deficit widened to $ 10 bn in June, with exports growing at above 50% and imports
growing at 80% y-o-y.
Bank deposits in the latest fortnight of FY12 are currently growing at 18.2%. Credit growth rose by
20000 cr and the current growth rate of loans and disbursals is 20.7%.

Monetary Policy The first quarter review of monetary policy review surprised the domestic financial markets. RBI hiked the
Repo rate (the rate at which it lends funds to the banking system) by 50 bps while most of the markets
including us expected only 25 bps hike. The reasons for the rate hike citied are:
1. Inflation has remained stubbornly high above 9% since January this year in-spite of series of rate hikes
since last year and the forecast for this year is 7% with upside risk coming from higher crude prices
and its direct and indirect transmission to inflation. Domestic demand has also been robust in spite of
higher inflation as wage increases in rural areas, MNREGA and minimum support prices have resulted
in higher spending.
2. The financials of Government of India are also in a bad shape and at this juncture it seems that the
slippage in fiscal deficit will be 0.80% to 1% of GDP ( approx 80k crores) due to higher subsidies in oil
prices and cut in excise and custom duties.

Global News: US sovereign rating downgraded; France and Germany face slumber; RBA pauses The US sovereign rating was downgraded from AAA to AA+ owing to the susceptibility in their fiscal numbers
going forward. The US Treasury (UST) 10 year yield dropped from 2.4% to 2.14% over the subsequent trading
sessions clearly showing the faith of investors in the safety of US bonds. The lack of confidence is evident in the
markets as one month US t-bills traded at negative yield for a brief while and US banks stopped lending money
market funds to banks based out of Europe owing to fears of the latter’s exposure to French government debt
after talk of a France rating downgrade started doing the rounds. As more economic data get released fears of
a double dip recession are only getting reaffirmed with France GDP growing at 0.0% and Germany growing
merely at 0.1% in Q2 2011. Such slumber in economic growth globally has been pushing up gold prices higher
while having a softening impact on Crude Oil and commodities. The central banks in Asia have now to decide
as to what to do, as RBA has probably set the tone by pausing instead of an expected rate hike owing to these
global uncertainties.

OUTLOOK
In the Domestic bond market the 10 year benchmark G sec has been trading in the range of 8.20% to 8.40% for
the last two months. The domestic factors have led to higher bond yields but global developments are acting
as a check on bearish sentiments in the domestic bond markets. The US sovereign downgrade and Euro debt
worries have lowered expectation of real output and further could cause a double –dip recession in the
developed economies. Owing to this commodities have already softened by around 10% from their recent
peaks and crude oil has corrected leading to an expectation of lower inflation and lower subsidies for FY 12.
Indeed the RBI governor will face dilemma while deciding weight between domestic factors and global factors
when it meets again on September 16th for its mid-quarterly review of monetary and credit policy. We believe
than Ten year Gsec has peaked after seeing the recent high of 8.45%. Going forward it will trade in the range
of 8.15 to 8.40, however we expect the range to breach lower level if crude oil fall sharply from the current
range of USD 85-95 per barrel.
EQUITY OUTLOOK Markets moved down 3.5% during the month to end at 18,197 despite wide spread monsoon. Sentiments
were hurt badly by more than anticipated increase in interest rates by Reserve Bank of India (50 basis), results
that came in which were not encouraging and an inconclusive debate over rising of debt ceiling in US. Sensex
outperformed the European counter parts.
Negative returns were despite inflow from Foreign Institutional Investors to the extent of 1.8 billion USD
during the month. Domestic institutions too were buyers to the tune of 125 Million USD.
Some of the positive developments that happened during the month include power Ministers conference to
come out of issues that were facing the distribution companies, group of ministers approving Mines and
Minerals Development and Regulation (which recommended 26% profit sharing with locals), approval for FM
radio phase III expansion and Government unveiling of draft land acquisition bill.
However, new set of woe’s also dogged the markets.
Supreme Court imposed blanket ban of mining in 99 iron ore mines in Karnataka and rightly so. There were
fresh allegations on some of the iron and steel majors for bribing to procure this raw material. The saga of
bribing that hit the markets 3 quarters ago once again resurfaced.

Results season is half way through. Most of the companies that reported results have seen compression in
margins thought their top line growth has surpassed estimates on an aggregate basis.
Central Bank of India increased repo rate by 50 basis points. With this the cumulative increase in interest rate
for the last 15 months is around 325 basis points. The commentary from the central bank was hawkish. It
mentioned about watching of inflation trajectory to continue its stance on rate hike. Next few samples are
going to be bad since the full impact of fuel price increase would be factored in here.
With inflation remaining high and IIP numbers (5.6% year on year growth) not encouraging we maintain a
cautious stand on the outlook. We prefer consumer discretionary, Information Technology and
Pharmaceuticals.
