Fixed Income Market Commentary for the month of December 2015

Fixed Income Market Outlook

The month of December was a significant month for the Indian bond markets. There were two major policy or reference rate triggers for the domestic bond markets during the month; RBIs monetary policy (1st December) and US Fed meeting (17th December) and consequent rate action.

RBI’s Monetary policy

RBI’s monetary policy was mostly along expected line and saw rates being kept unchanged. RBI appeared confident of having CPI within acceptable levels and retained its forecasted GDP growth of about 7.4% with a mild downward bias. RBI stated the “Indian economy was emphatically on the path of recovery”. However, the recovery was slow paced and asymmetrical. In other words, RBI has observed sectoral weaknesses in some areas. Overall, RBIs policy stance is broadly neutral in outlook with dovish undertones. RBI seems reasonably confident of global commodities remaining soft for some time to come. We believe that RBI’s future actions shall broadly depend on future Federal reserve action and its impact, transmission of policy rate cuts and global economic trends (including China). While RBI has expressed concerns over some matters, its outlook for our economy and markets seems positive. We hold that India’s attractiveness in the context of a world-wide slowdown remains intact and participants may do well to have a positive outlook for domestic bond markets in the coming quarters.US Fed Rate hike

The FOMC finally hiked US target range for Federal funds rate by 25 bps, making the new range 0.25% to 0.50%. This has been the first hike in US rates since 2006.Fed Governor noted that the US economy has shown considerable progress though the growth pattern remains patchyThe FOMC felt that the hike was ‘modest’ and that going forward the process to tightening could well be ‘gradual’. The fed Governor stated that future rate action would depend on Growth and inflation figures.As of now, the tenor and stance of the FOMC may be deemed as dovish. The lowering of inflation projections for the coming years (popularly known as ‘dots’) by FOMC seems to hint at a dovish leaning on part of the Fed. The gradual nature of Fed tightening and dovish tilt could (going forward) mean better performance by INR which has been steadily losing ground to a globally strengthening USD. (this may hold good for most EM currencies)RBIs rate actions shall (of course) be guided more by domestic factors such as inflation, growth and fiscal deficit concerns. However, given our relatively benign outlook on inflation for now, we may look to corporate earnings, private capex and government spend as lead indicators to gauge the speed of economic revival in India. We retain our view that a gradual US recovery shall benefit India in the medium to long termLiquidity

Market liquidity was broadly tight for most of the month and overnight rates remained volatile with CBLO rates ranging from about 6.33% to about 7.08%. Overnight rates tightened towards the end of the month on account of quarter ending. Going forward, we expect overnight rates to remain relatively volatile with a mild softening bias in the beginning of the new quarter as monies return to the markets. Rates may soften somewhat when the monies shall return back to the system.InflationCPI continued to harden and was printed at 5.41% (Vs 5.00% last month) but was lower than market expectations of about 5.3%. Core CPI on the other hand was in-line with market expectations at 4.71% (Vs 4.42% last month) WPI inflation remained in the negative territory but continues to show a rising trend. WPI printed at -1.99% (Vs -3.81% last month) but was below market expectation of about -2.8%. IIP for the month of October 2015 came in sharply higher at +9.8% (Vs +3.6% last month). Going ahead, we expect RBIs target of keeping CPI under 6.00% by Jan 2016 to be met.INR

The INR displayed significant volatility against USD and traded between about 66.15 and about 67.10 (Vs USD) for most part of the month. Our currency showed relative appreciation mainly on account of a globally weakening USD and a limited intervention by RBI. Going ahead, we expect the currency to continue exhibiting relative volatility.Interest rates & Outlook

CPI and WPI both trended higher on account of a wearing off of the base effect as well as percolation of the effects of a somewhat deficient monsoon. IIP

numbers have been patchy but seem to be generally trending upwards, increasing expectations of economic revival in the coming quarters.Money market instruments saw some hardening in rates following cash tightness. We also saw Gilt securities give up significant gains on the back of US Fed rate hike and relatively tight liquidity. The benchmark 10 year paper started the month at about 7.785% and ended the month of November at about 7.761%.Corporate bonds yields also saw some hardening in yields for most part of the month on the back of relatively poor volumes. However, the movements in yields were not as much as seen in the GSec space.Overall, there is no change in RBIs policy and we retain the outlook of the policy tenor having accommodative undertones. Market participants shall watch Inflation (CPI, WPI) and growth (IIP) data along with global indicators such as commodities, crude oil prices, US and Chinese economic data points and INR movements.We retain our positive outlook for the domestic economy and in the context of a world-wide slowdown, domestic market participants may do well to have a positive outlook for domestic bond markets in the coming quarters.Going forward, we retain our view of a prolonged pause in RBIs interest rate actions and expect the benchmark 10 year to trade in the range of 7.60% to 7.80%.Outlook for 2016

1. We hold that the economic revival process is underway and there are signs of public spending taking effect with discretionary spending on the rise. However, the process shall be time consuming and patchy.

2. We expect Inflation to remain within RBIs comfort zone in 2016 with CPI peaking off at about 6% by March before easing to about 5.5% to 5% by the end of FY 16-17. We may experience some fiscal slippage on account of the pay commission report , OROP etc, but we don’t expect the fiscal deficit to deteriorate to beyond our current levels of 3.9%

3. We expect GDP growth trajectory to be in the range of 7.0% to 7.3%. We expect India to remain the best performing EM for the year

4. We expect US recovery to be gradual and in that context we may see a cautious approach on part of Federal reserve. However, a degree of uncertainty enters the issue since US policy shall be data dependent and the data streams from US may continue to give conflicting signals. For now, we may estimate to see further hikes by US to the tune of 25 bps in 2016.

5. RBI may continue to ease rates in face of a relatively comfortable CPI, benign current account deficit condition and low global commodity prices (esp crude oil). We may see RBI ease rates to the tune of 25 bps in the current fiscal and (if things go as foreseen by RBI/GoI) another 25 bps for the rest of the next calendar year. We hold that RBI ought to inject liquidity into the system via OMOs in order to increase broad money (M3) to the tune of about INR 50,000 crs to INR 60,000 crs.

The key risks to the resurgent India story are;1. The current consumption is being fuelled by public spend. We are still lagging

in terms of private capex. We shall need to see a pick-up in private spend and investment in order to fuel sustainable growth

2. Whereas urban discretionary spend is gaining ground, rural consumption remains weak (partly on the back of curtailed government spend). We shall have to see how Rural income (and therefore consumption) picks up in order to gauge sustained growth levels

3. Given the weak global outlook, our exports may well remain subdued during 2016.

4. The government ought to push through vital legislations (mainly GST and Land bill) . Implementation and execution of Govt plans and policies shall be under scrutiny in 2016.

5. Future FPI flows may depend on the speed of US recovery and the perceived political strength of the government in India – which in turn shall depend on state elections and ability of GOI to push through reforms.

6. Overall, we remain positive on the Indian economy per se. The steps and policies adopted by RBI and GoI since 2014 and more so in recent times have contributed to staunch the weakening of the economy and re-introduced a higher degree of price stability (inflation), external stability (current account deficit) and financial stability (fiscal deficit). Given that we expect further cuts in interest rates and a prolonged pause before the interest cycle turns to the hardening phase, we remain positive on the domestic debt markets.

Equity Market Commentary for the month of December 2015

Domestic MarketsAfter a negative November, December returns were flat; with Sensex being down by just 0.11% and Nifty-50 Index up by just 0.14%. The broader indices returns were slightly better with BSE Mid Cap index up by 1.4% and BSE Small Cap index up by 1.72%. During CY2015, Sensex was down by 5.05% and Nifty 50 was down by 4.08%.

In December, among BSE sector indices Metal sector and Health care sector posted positive returns. Metals with 3.93% returns stood at the top of the table while Consumer sector lost the most, down by 3.76%. For the month, Rupee appreciated by 0.77% and closed at 66.15 against US dollar.Domestic Macro DataIn the month of October, IIP expanded by 9.8% YoY – much higher than growth in the month of September at 3.6% YoY. The growth acceleration was primarily due to base effect (delayed Diwali compared to last year). Adjusted for base effect, underlying economic activity continues to improve. The uptick is mainly on the manufacturing front (10.6% compared to 2.6% in September 2015) and mining (4.7% compared to 3% in September). Electricity also continues to do well. India WPI inflation in November 2015 came in at -1.99%, 182 bps higher than that of last month, marking 13th straight month of negative print. While agricultural inflation has moved up, imported inflation continues to contract in double digits. CPI for November came in at 5.41% versus 5% in October 2015. The food inflation at 6.1% inched higher compared to last month owing to base effect (in vegetables) and higher prices of pulses; core CPI also inched higher to 4.71%, 30 bps higher compared to last month. Global Markets

The Federal Reserve hiked interest rates for the first time in nearly a decade, announcing the new range of 0.25%-0.5% from the earlier band of 0-0.25%, signaling faith in the recovery of US economy. Argentina Peso lost more than a quarter of its value against the US dollar, a day after the new government abandoned the peso-dollar parity. The government is looking to attract investors and kick start the economy. Outlook

2015 is one of those rare years in which prices of most finished products fell in response to sharply lower commodity (input) prices. It’s one of those instances when the GDP deflator (represents the weighted average inflation of the entire GDP) indicates an economy-wide fall in prices. This has an enormous impact on

nominal GDP growth which grows at a slower pace than the reported real GDP growth, e.g. in the quarter ended Sep 2015 real GDP grew at 7.4% YoY but GDP deflator being -1.39% (indicating a price fall), nominal GDP grew only by 6.04%. This is important because corporate sales and earnings growth numbers are nominal in nature and respond more to nominal growth than real growth. Corporate sales grow at a slower pace in the above scenario (as we have already witnessed for the Nifty 50 companies in the previous 4 quarters) compared to a scenario in which real GDP grows at 7.4% and prices rise, say at 5%, resulting in a nominal growth of more than 12%.This environment does not affect all companies in equal measure. Companies which use their resources inefficiently and consequently have relatively higher fixed cost structures have a lower ability to absorb this loss in sales. Primary suspect amongst these would be companies with high levels of leverage or debt. For such companies, interest burden remains the same even though sales fall, putting pressure on their profits. Additionally, if cash flows generated by such companies aren’t enough to service their already high levels of debt they need to borrow afresh to service their existing debt, thus increasing their burden. This sets up a vicious cycle for such companies, which is extremely difficult to break. Our analysis suggests that this also casts a shadow on the functioning of their businesses. Under pressure to manage costs, such companies may find it increasingly difficult to maintain quality and remain competitive, which results in them losing market share.On the other hand, companies which manage their capital well and generate cash flows consistently from their business typically have low levels of debt. They are not only protected from such deterioration, but also well placed to acquire the market share vacated by those who are in trouble. So, while the vicious cycle for inefficient companies intensifies, efficient companies only stand to benefit. We believe that the current environment will persist in 2016 as well. As such, it is possible that index performance in 2016 may continue to be lackluster. However, we are confident that our bottom-up process of selecting those companies that use capital efficiently and generate free cash flows (hence benefit from such an environment) should hold our portfolios in good stead.
