Markets remained range bound in the early part of December 2010, but a year end rally led themarkets erase the November 2010 losses and end the year on a high note. BSE Sensex wasup by 5.1% for the month while the broader indices BSE 200 and BSE 500 were up by 3.4% and3.1% respectively. BSE Midcap was up by 0.5% and BSE Smallcap was down by 0.8% therebyunderperforming the large cap index by a significant margin. So after an eventful 2010, we sawthe markets give good returns with the BSE Sensex up by 17.4%, BSE 200 up by 16.2%, BSE500 up by 16.4%, BSE Midcap up by 16.1% and BSE Smallcap up by 15.7%.

December 2010 was a good contrast to the prior month which was haemorrhaging scams(2G, CWG, Adarsh, loan for bribes, etc) but the low volume rally during the month raisesquestions on the sustainability of the rally.

The best performing sectoral indices were BSE Metals (up by 12.5%), BSE Technology (upby 8.6%), BSE Oil & Gas (up by 5.3%), BSE FMCG (up by 2.8%), BSE Capital Goods (up by2.4%), BSE Healthcare (up by 2.3%) while the worst performing were BSE Realty (down by2.4%), BSE Bankex (down by 1.8%), BSE Auto (up by 1.3%). So the sectoral moves reflectinvestors preference shifting to sectors linked to global recovery rather than domesticconsumption. Also we saw inflation rate and interest rate risk increase in investors mind,showing in the underperformance of interest rate sensitive sectors like auto, banks and realestate. On a overall 2010 basis, the best performing sectors were BSE Auto (up 37.6%), BSEHealthcare (up 34.2%), BSE Bankex (up 33.3%), BSE FMCG (up 31.9%), BSE Technology(up 23.5%) while the worst performing were BSE Realty (down 25.9%), BSE Oil & Gas (up1.2%), BSE Capital Good (up 9.2%).

FII inflows in the cash market remained positive for another month (10 occasions in 2010). FIIsturned buyers in futures market after selling for three months in a row. Domestic mutual fundsturned buyers for the first time since August 2009 while domestic insurance companies turnedsellers during the month. In 2010, FIIs bought stock worth USD 29 billion in the cash market(a new high) - FII inflows in the primary market are about USD 8.5 billion for the year. Domesticinstitutions have sold USD 4.6 billion (domestic insurance have bought USD 1.4 billion andmutual funds have sold stock worth USD 6 billion).

Domestically, we saw the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in its mid-quarter review of monetarypolicy, kept the repo rate and the reverse repo rate unchanged at 6.25% and 5.25%, respectively.The cash reserve ratio (CRR) was also retained at 6%. RBI announced another round ofliquidity measures. These include: (a) permanent reduction in the Statutory Liquidity Ratio(SLR) from 25% of bank deposits (net time and demand liabilities, NDTL) to 24% with effectfrom December 18, 2010. (b) Additional buyback of government securities of ̀ 480 billion inthe next one month. These measures should improve liquidity to a certain extent. The headlineinflation rate (WPI) decelerated to 7.48% in November 2010 from 8.58% in October 2010. Theseasonally adjusted WPI index was up by 0.8% MoM in November 2010. Industrial Productiongrowth accelerated to 10.8% YoY in October 2010, compared with growth of 4.4% YoY inSeptember 2010. Given the volatility in monthly IP growth numbers, we believe the best way isto look at the 3 months moving average. On this basis, IP growth decelerated to an averageof 7.4% YoY during the three months ended October 2010 from 8.8% during the three monthsended September 2010. Food Price inflation remains sticky and could pose upward risks toyear end inflation targets.

Higher tax collections and 3G and BWA license fees has helped government to achieve fiscaldeficit of 2.6% of GDP FYTD (Financial Year to Date) (vs. the budget estimate of 5.5% of GDPfor the full year). For the period April-November 2010, the fiscal deficit has reached 48.9% ofthe FY 2011 Budgeted Estimate. Even after excluding 3G and BWA license fees from totalrevenue receipts, on a FYTD basis, the fiscal deficit was down 4.4% YoY.

On the external front, we saw the current account deficit widened to an all-time high of USD15.8 billion (4.3% of GDP, annualized) in quarter ending September 2010 compared with adeficit of USD 12.1 billion (3.5% of GDP, annualized). This level of current account deficit wasabove market expectations (as per Bloomberg survey) of USD 15.3 billion. The current accountdeficit (excluding remittances) widened to 8% of GDP, annualized, in the September 2010quarter compared with 7.4% of GDP in June 2010 quarter. With oil prices rising, one of thebiggest concerns will be the adverse impact of high oil prices on current account and the fiscaldeficit since India imports 75% of its oil requirement. India is one of the few emerging marketswhich suffers from twin deficits (both current and fiscal). Whenever oil prices rise, globalinvestors become concerned about its impact on inflation and interest rate in India and hencethe growth rates, thereby leading to capital flows out of the country. Since last year, India wasone of the prime beneficiaries of the easy liquidity situation globally and the strong domesticgrowth story meant global investors allocating a greater share of their capital to India. Indiaremains susceptible to capital outflows.

Globally, we saw economic data points improve especially in the United States, on the back ofsecond round of quantitative easing announced by the Federal Reserve last month. And thisled to sharp up move in asset classes linked to developed markets recovery. Hence, we sawindustrial commodities rallying with Zinc up 16.2%, Copper up 14.8% and Aluminum up 8.5%.Also,Crude Oil was up by 8.6% and crossed USD 90 per barrel after a long time. Goingforward, recovery in the developed markets could turn out to be a bane for the Indian marketswith global commodities including crude oil moving up, thereby adding fuel to already highinflation rates and hence interest rate. And this could impact growth rates going forward.

Outlook

We expect FY 2011 GDP to be in the range of 8-8.5%, while with the increasingmomentum in corporate earnings and a favorable base; we expect earnings to grow at20% plus in FY 2011.

In our view, Indian valuations are at marginal premia to the region with higher tail risksemerging from strong crude oil and commodity prices, topped up by a wide currentaccount deficit making us susceptible to external flows. As a result we see that for thefull year, markets are likely to perform marginally below corporate earnings growth of18-20%. Though a bulk of this performance is likely to be back-ended. Shorter term wesee domestic consumption (on rising incomes - both rural & urban), upstream energyand commodities being the relative out performers. IT should also do well as a proxyto developed market growth and the INR remaining range bound on inflation/CurrentAccount Deficit worries. Second half should see the return of capex oriented themes- industrials and banking making a comeback.

Market Assessment

Domestic fixed income market was marked by high volatility and tight liquidity over the month of December2010. Liquidity conditions became extremely tight on back of advance tax outflow with liquidity infusionby RBI via the LAF repo window touching an all time high. Tracking the tight liquidity, money market ratesretained elevated levels as one year prime bank CD yields rose to 9.80%. To combat the squeezedliquidity scenario, banks further increased the deposit rates across segments as well as the base rates.

Monthly inflation for November 2010 was lower at 7.48%. However, the expectation of lower food pricesdue to better monsoon turned futile with vegetable and other food prices going up sharply on the back ofunseasonal rains. Primary articles inflation reached 17.2% level for the week ended December 18, 2010with an upward bias. Fuel inflation also added fire with hike in petrol price of ̀ 2.95 / litre. With higher weeklynumbers, monthly inflation print for the month of December 2010 is likely to inch up in spite of favourablebase effect.

Sovereign yields remained volatile amongst different maturities due to selection of stocks for the OpenMarket Operations (OMO). OMO infused liquidity to the tune of ̀ 41,179 crores into the system duringthe month, providing a much needed respite. Upswing in the government expenditure towards the fagend of the month and reduction in the gilt auction amount by ̀ 10,000 crs during the month, also boughtrelief from liquidity concerns. Overall, G-Sec yields moved downwards during the month on the backof liquidity support and OMO announcements. Deposit growth continued to remain sluggish along withhigher credit growth. Corporate bond curve was largely range bound and inverted on the back of fewsupplies and limited demand from end investors.

Recently released data indicates that fiscal deficit for the current fiscal is down by 39% YoY on the backof higher than budgeted tax collections and windfall gain from the 3G spectrum sale. The rate ofspending of the government is yet to catch up with additional revenues. However, with various supplementarydemands already approved, the expenditure levels are bound to increase in the last quarter.

Current account deficit for the quarter ended September 2010 widened to USD 15.8 billion, due tohigher imports and oil prices. The Balance of payment was positive on the back of portfolio flows. Giventhe global economic recovery is slower than India; higher current account deficit may pose somechallenges for the exchange rates.

Optimism on the US growth outlook on the back of recent data releases and extension of tax cuts led tosignificant hardening of the US yields, since the onset of December 2010.

Going Forward

RBI acted on the liquidity concerns in the December mid quarter policy to generate primary liquidity.The OMOs along with the government spending towards the end of December 2010, has startedeasing liquidity scenario to some extent. However, lack of end buyers, rising inflation and lowervolumes in market due to OMO in liquid segments, would keep government securities on the edge.The shorter end of corporate curve (up to 12 months) is attractive due to lower duration and higheraccrual. The longer end corporate curve may remain under pressure due to supply concerns andlower spreads. Bond funds have reduced duration and focusing more on accrual. Short end fundswould continue to earn better accruals and continue to provide good investment avenues.
