Market OutlookM a r c h 2 0 0 8

The Finance Minister announced the Union Budget 2008-09 with an eye on elections. It appeared like a delicate balancing act between inclusive growth and fiscal prudence. The budget increases spending on agriculture, education, infrastructure and health. As expected, Mr. Chidambaram also announced the waiver of farm loans and the overdue interest estimated to be in proximity of Rs. 60,000 Crores. The budget has also increased the exemption limit for the individual taxpayers. This will put more money in taxpayers' hands thus boosting consumption to by a considerable extent. The government also proposed to cut mean rate of excise duty for industry. The increase in short-term capital gains tax was from 10% to 15% affected the market sentiment negatively..

The primary thrust of the budget came across as boosting consumption by way of increasing personal disposable income. On the flip side, there was less than expected thrust on infrastructure. In terms of sectors, the budget is distinctly positive for the Automobile sector due to a steeper cut in excise duty as well as increase in personal disposable income as a result of reduction in income tax outgo. There will be some spillover of this into other consumer durables like furnishings, lifestyle products and to a lesser extent in FMCGs as well.

The fiscal deficit for 2007-08 is estimated to be 3.1% of GDP and for 2008-09 the same is forecast to be 2.5% of GDP. Though the budget looks a good balancing act, some of the expenditure remains off budget. There is no provision for the potential hit from the Sixth Pay Commission recommendations, which is expected in the next couple of months. Also, the loan waiver of Rs. 60,000 Crores mentioned above is not part of the budget.

Earlier in the month, Railway Budget attempted to target inflation with its efforts to control freight costs for users. The Rail Minister has announced a 5% cut in freight rates for petrol & diesel and a 6% cut for iron ore transport. In addition, certain passenger fares have been cut (including 4% cut in fares for selective classes). With rising internal accruals, capex spending by the railways is likely to accelerate after being sluggish for a long period. For F2008, the railways' capex is likely to increase to 0.7% of GDP from

0.6% in the previous year. In this year's budget, the Rail Minister also re-affirmed the plan to invest Rs. 30,000 Crores (US$ 6.7 bn) on dedicated freight corridors over the next five years. In addition, the Minister announced that pre-feasibility studies for the construction of four high-speed passenger corridors, running trains at speeds of 300-350 km/hour.

State Bank of India, largest domestic bank, reduced its PLR by 50bps in two steps of 25bps each. Canara Bank, Union Bank of India, Bank of India, amongst others, followed suit and dropped their PLRs by 25-50bps as well.

The MSCI Emerging Markets Index and MSCI Emerging Asia Index gained 7.3% and 7.2% respectively. The benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty ended the month 2.84% and 1.09% lower respectively in spite of the moderately positive FII flows at +USD 429.80 mn after a big negative in January month (-USD 3,231.60mn).

Headwinds from developed markets continued to toy with markets sentiments during the month and impacted two domestic IPOs (Emaar and Wokhardt Hospitals), which were withdrawn after they failed to garner adequate subscription. This was followed by a disappointing listing of Reliance Power, one of the largest IPOs in Indian markets.

As a fallout, defensive sectors like Pharmaceuticals and Consumer Staples were amongst the top performers after Metals. On the flip side, Financials and Real Estate stocks staged a reversal.

The Indian markets have underperformed other emerging and regional markets this year. As a result valuations are now much more reasonable as compared to few months back. At the same time, the growth drivers of the infrastructure spending, increasing incomes, personal consumption growth and young demographic profile firmly entrenched. For an investor with long-term horizon, this correction provides an attractive opportunity to increase allocation towards equity markets through tax efficient vehicles like mutual funds.

EQUITY MARKET

Domestic bond markets:Sentiment in the bond market swayed in two directions as leading indicators changed guards. Sentiment was negatively affected by rising inflationary pressures and a cash crunch along with rising commodity prices. Ten-year benchmark yield ended at 7.60% up from 7.53%. Overnight call rates, after hovering around 6.25% range, quickly rose to 7.75-8% territory as liquidity dried in the system.

Speculation over easier monetary policy in the coming quarters gradually eased due to rising inflation rate. WPI surged to 9-mont high of 4.89% y-o-y as the pass-through effect of higher petrol/diesel prices was felt on the economy. Persisting pressures of higher global food prices and oil prices continued to fuel inflationary expectations.

The government economic review maintained that inflation should moderate in the coming months, providing some relief to sentiment. Bonds also drew support from bouts of SLR buying. On the external front, risk aversion by players has sustained the overall appeal of risk-free bonds. US yields swung wildly amidst chaotic conditions. While this proved supportive, bearish domestic factors largely dominated the mood.

Corporate bond market sentiment was dull as players choose to maintain sidelines

amidst tight cash conditions. Volumes dipped to nearly half as that of the previous month. With few exceptions, consistent profit taking across the curve widened spreads accordingly. Though budget proposals provided some fillip to corporate bonds. The budget proposed to create an exchange-traded market for corporate bonds, including trade in domestic convertible bonds and to abolish tax deduction at source for listed corporate bonds.

US interest rate futures priced in a 50 bps rate cut from the FOMC meeting in mid-March. Meanwhile, Q4 GDP growth was confirmed at a 0.6% yoy pace after a 4.9% in Q3. Excluding the improvement in trade, the economy would have shrunk at 0.3%, the first decline since 2001, when the US was last in a recession.

Outlook for bond markets:Systemic liquidity would face stress from advance tax outflows slated in mid-March. Drawing cues from the mood in the global markets, major thrust from FII inflows also seems unlikely. Usually high year-end demand for cash is likely to keep short term rates under pressure. Persisting risk from inflationary pressures will also keep tab on the sentiment. On the positive side, with no fresh supply of GOI papers in sight and demand for SLR securities may keep sentiment afloat.

For Short-term and Ultra Short-term debt funds and Short-term Gilt funds, the Ratings are based on 18-month weekly risk-adjusted performance, relative to the other funds in category. Entry/Exit Loads not considered.5-stars indicate that fund is in top 10% of its category. 4-stars indicate that fund is in next 22.5% of its category.

Credit quality incorporates the credit risk of securities and the counter-party risk involved in transactions CRISIL has developed a Credit Quality Matrix to evaluate a bond fund’s overall level of protection against losses associated with credit default.
