“Domestic equites do not look to be inspiring as of now. Benchmark indices outperformed global markets in recent week as favourable FOMC meeting outcome and sustained recovery in key economic indicators bolstered investors’ confidence. Notably, tax collection data for 1HFY21 looks quite impressive, which virtually crossed pre-pandemic FY20 numbers with a wide margin. This along with government’s borrowing target of Rs5.03trillion (mostly on expected line) certainly bodes well for economy and bond markets. However, investors remain on tenterhook with regards to progress on Evergrande,” Binod Modi, head strategy at Reliance Securities said.
“Additionally, ease of retail inflation at 5.3 per cent for August bodes well as this should essentially aid RBI to maintain its soft monetary policy stance to support ongoing recovery in economic momentum. In our view, while 1QFY22 GDP growth 20.1 per cent indicating a sharp recovery, there has been sharp contraction in sequential comparison due to second wave of COVID-19 and growth is still lagging from pre-pandemic level,” he added.
