The World This Week – 7th – 15th Nov 2020.

Indian Equity Summary-

·         Optimism had rubbed its positive impact on the domestic market over the initial performance of Pfizer's Covid vaccine and the outcome of the US presidential election. Nifty and Sensex ended on a WoW basis in green and increased by ~4 percent. The government announced a series of stimulus initiatives, including credit support for stressed sectors, employment creation incentives and multiple measures for construction and housing, as boosters for the Covid hit economy under Aatmanirbhar Bharat 3.0, which boosted the market sentiment.

·         Going forward, with the uncertainty due to US elections moving out of the way volatility will reduce substantially leading to money moving towards the riskier assets; domestic factors like ongoing Q2 corporate earnings season, and FII/DII inflows and USD/INR rates ; will continue to dictate the trend of the domestic equity market. We expect the trading range for Nifty between 12500-13000 in the near term and trade with a positive bias.

·         CPI-based retail inflation came in at 77-month high of 7.6% YoY in Oct’20 as against 7.3% a month ago and 4.6% in Oct’19.

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

  FROM THE CEO’s DESK Dear Investors, “More money has been lost trying to anticipate and protect from corrections than actually in them.” Peter Lynch. The BSE Sensex had the best quarter since June 2009 and had risen more than 35 percent from lows in March, despite Covid-19 lockdown having seriously hampered economic activity. Backed by better-than - expected economic data in recent months, along with a proactive government stance and central bank policy intervention coupled with the resurgence of FPI flows into the domestic equity market, indicates towards a "V-shaped" recovery.
