1. The World This Week Mar 24 Mar 29, 2014

2. Equity View: We have the RBI policy coming in tomorrow i.e 1st April 14 from which we are expecting a status quo. As we have been talking earlier, CPI inflation continues to be the benchmark for the RBI when it comes to setting the interest rates. We have seen CPI coming down to 8% levels already which is the RBI target for the next year. Hence we are not expecting any interest rate hike in this policy. Also it is too early for RBI to start cutting interest rates considering that it is only two months since we have seen any respite in inflation. Hence we believe that RBI would want to hold on to these levels for some more time before taking a view that interest rates need to come down. Our belief is that both the CRR and the SLR ratios would be kept at the same level and RBI would not go ahead with a status quo kind of a policy. In terms of the equity markets, we saw nifty moving up by 3% last week on back of continuous FII inflows. We have seen almost 3 bn $ worth of FII investments in equity and around 2 bn $ investments in debt taking a total FII money to a 5 bn $. We have seen the effect of that on Rupee which breached the level of 60 for the first time in the last eight months. It is difficult to say to what level rupee will go in the short term but we believe that RBI will intervene meaningfully in case Rupee continues to appreciate. Our own sense is that rupee will not appreciate very significantly from these levels considering the fact that exports continue to be the driver of the Indian economy. We believe that there are big macroeconomic risks emerging from an expected failure of monsoons. We had the lamina effect which is supposedly strengthening in the pacific and hence it is expected that rainfall is going to be uncertain and unpredictable this summer. Therefore we shall be unsure about how agriculture growth will be. The only sector which continues to drive Indian macro economic growth in the next two quarters is the export growth. Hence the government and RBI are very cognizant of the fact that the rupee does not appreciate meaningfully from the levels at which it is trading at this point of time. We have already seen RBI intervening in the Forex markets in the last few trading sessions and the extent of intervention might increase in case the pace of appreciation of Rupee actually increases from the current levels. It is difficult to predict short term levels but we do expect government to intervene much more aggressively to avert the FII flows to increase significantly from the current levels. In terms of the Q4 earning season which we will see the beginning in the next 8-10 trading sessions. We expect a muted performance this time as far as the IT sector is concerned. We have the Infosys and TCS already guided for a soft quarter essentially because of weather related disruptions in the US and some kind of delaying in fresh order inflows coming in. The volume growth this quarter for both Infosys and TCS is expected to be around 3% on a Q-o-Q basis. We believe that the next two years would be extremely robust for most of the Tier I - IT companies because of two reasons: 1) There is a very strong macro economic recovery which is playing out in US, i.e. also playing out in terms of comments which we have seen from the US Federal Reserve which has expedited the pace of tapering and we believe that it also shows the kind of confidence that they have in durability of US macro economic recovery. So a strong US recovery is going to be extremely positive for Tier I - Indian IT companies.

3. 2) The margin regime has more or less stabilized and we believe that this margin will stay and sustain for the at least the next 3-4 Quarters. Based on these two assumptions we believe that the earnings growth for all Tier I - IT companies should be of the order 5-20% and therefore they remain aggressive bias for us in the coming quarters.
