Key Highlights for the Month
FIIs continued to be buyers with inflow of
Rs9,712cr
Monsoon has gained momentum, still 12% below normal
Metal Sector to underperform due to falling international
commodities prices
Dear Investor,
The Nifty for the month of August broke out of its range
above 5350 and made a high of 5448, but, was unable to
hold on to higher levels and reversed to close 29 points
higher at 5259 level. FIIs continued to be buyers with inflow
of
Rs9,712cr,
while DII were sellers to the extent of
Rs1,600cr.
The Monsoon session of parliament was a stalled after coal allocation report tabled by
CAG. Overall expectation of reforms was completely washed out in this drama with no
major bill being passed. On the positive side monsoon has picked momentum, as per
IMD it is 12% below normal against 19% last month. Quarterly GDP data came in at
5.5%, and July inflation at 6.9%, a 32 month low surprised market positively. FED policy
meet towards end of month kept the possibility of QE3 open.
1QFY13 Earning Review aggregate performance were in line with estimates, companies
in our universe that beat estimates outnumber the laggards by over 1.5:1. This has been
led by Financials, Healthcare and Cement. For FY13 Sensex EPS is expected to grow 8%
to 1,213 and FY14 EPS to grow 14% to 1,380. Post results we have downgraded Bharti
Airtel to Neutral and maintain underperformer view on Metal Sector largely due to falling
commodities prices, we have sell rating on Tata Steel, JSW Steel & SAIL.

Rikesh Parikh - Vice President
Way Forward
RBI meet on Sept 17th in backdrop of inflation below 7% and manufacturing growth
at just 0.2% in overall GDP growth keeps expectation of rate cut alive. Shome
committee recomending GAAR to be deferred by 3 years and Mauritius tax treaty to
be continued, if accepted, would bring some confidence back among FII's.
Thought for the month
Threats
Logjam in parliament due to Coalgate reports and its impact on companies.
Brent Crude price rebounding back to $114.50 will put a strain on fiscal condition.
Opportunities
Continuation of FII flow to lend support as market is trading below its historical
valuation.
Pick up in monsoon will lend support to sustenance of rural consumption theme.
