Liquidity, Earnings, Government Budget = Added Optimism

INDIA | MACRO & STRATEGY | Monthly Dashboard

4 February 2021

Pro-growth budget along with strong earnings in Q3 added to market optimism. Budget expectedly focused on capex and Atmanirbhar Bharat in FY22 continuing with strong spending in FY21. We expect this to be the long-term trend as well. We retain our long-held positive stance on Capex theme (since Aug’20 Click here) and its positive impact on the economy as well as equities.

DASHBOARD MONTHLY UPDATE

PC India Index: What is it? We have taken into account various important domestic as well as global factors, economic and industry variables, production indices and prices, as well as various asset classes. Weights are assigned to each variable to arrive at Positive Index, Negative Index, and Net Index. The Positive Index is the weighted average of all the factors that are positive for India. The Negative Index is the weighted average of all factors impacting India negatively. “Net PC India Index = Positive Index - Negative Index”.
