The World This Week 7th September 2020 to 14th September 2020

 

Indian Equity Summary

·         Based on the stellar performance of Reliance shares and IT related stocks, the benchmark indices Nifty / Sensex closed positively ~1.2 per centØ on a WoW basis. The bank's nifty index closed in negative as the Supreme Court ruling on the indecision over interest was acting as an overhang while the RBI gave banks more space to continue extending the moratorium on loans as per the KV Kamath committee resolution framework which allows for the restructuring of corporate and personal loans. 

·         Going forward, global factors like development on the US -China relationship front , IndiaØ & China border issues and domestic factors like the monsoon trajectory and remaining earnings season ; will continue to dictate the trend of the domestic equity market. We expect the trading range for Nifty between 11000-11,600 in the near term. . Markets may consolidate within a wider range, demonstrating clearly that a sideways movement is more probable than an outright reversal.

Indian Debt Market

·         Government bond prices fell sharply as the yield on the yield of the 10-year benchmark 5.77% 2030 paper settled at 6.04% on September 11Ø compared with 5.93% on September 4.

·         We expect the 10 year benchmark yield to trade between 5.80-6.05% in near term.Ø

Domestic News

As per the new circular,Ø in order to diversify the underlying investments of Multi Cap Funds across the large, mid and small cap companies, all multi cap funds have to compulsorily allocate minimum 25% of their funds in equity and equity related instruments of large caps, mid caps and small caps respectively.
