Equity View: Indian equity markets fell by 2% last week. Calendar Year2011 was the second worst year for Sensex since 1980. The return for the year was -25% in rupee terms & -42% in dollar terms. The three key factors that contributed to this were slowing GDP growth, policy paralysis on part of the Government & corruption. For CY 12we expect the GDP growth to be in the range of 6.5%-7%. Inflation is expected to cool down to 6.5%-7%. This translates to a nominal GDP growth rate of around 13-14%. With the nominal GDP growth of 13%-14% we expect the corporate earnings to increase by the same number. In addition to this we expect a re-rating of the PE multiple of the Indian equity market. We currently are trading around 12 times one year forward earnings & we expect it change to 14 times once the growth revives. Hence, for CY 12 we believe returns from the equity markets will be in the range of around 20-25%. The rupee is expected to stabilize around Rs. 52-53 level which is effectively the real exchange rate. Hence, we believe that the rupee was overvalued for some time & has now gone down to its fair value number. RBI is expected to start reversing its tight monetary policy, sometime in the first quarter itself. On 24

th Jan 2012, we will

have the RBI policy review. The consensus expectation is that RBI might cut the CRR. For the year we see rate cut in the repo by 50-100 basis points for policy loosening. For the month we will have Export-Import data to be released on Monday, 2nd Jan 2012. Also, PMI manufacturing data will be released on Monday. Inflation number for month of December is expected to come on the 15

th which will be key

data to watch out for. In January the earnings season will begin from the 10th

. Companies having exposure to imports will take a huge hit because of sharp depreciation in rupee. On other hand, we would see many companies who have major exports benefitting from the same. Information technology would be one of the sectors to benefit out of Rupee depreciation. News: DOMESTIC MACRO:

India's food inflation eased to 0.42% in the year to December 17, from an annual 1.81% rise in the previous week.

India's consumer price index rose 9.34% from a year earlier, slower than October's annual rise of 9.39%.

India's fiscal deficit for the first 8 months of the financial year ballooned to Rs. 3.53 trillion, or nearly 86% of the full-year target, reinforcing expectations the government will be forced to tap the bond market for additional borrowing.

The current account deficit remained unchanged at $16.9 billion in the September quarter from a year earlier, as a widening trade gap was offset by service-related inflows. The trade deficit widened to $43.9 billion during July-September compared with $37 billion in the year ago period.

Japan will invest $4.5 billion in the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor over the next five years, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda said on Wednesday after meeting his Indian counterpart in New Delhi.
