Nifty 50 continued the uptrend in August 2018 and made a new high of 11,760.20 on August 28, 2018. Besides, mid-cap stocks and small-cap stocks also recovered from the wounds of carnage in last few months and outperformed large-cap stocks. The carnage in mid and small-cap stocks was caused by mutual funds’ selling to meet the requirement of new categorization of schemes, GSM/ASM by SEBI, and Governance issues.

Domestic mutual funds continued to pour into Indian equity markets; however, net inflow in August 2018 was flat compared to previous month. Domestic mutual funds have been net buyers in Indian equity markets for the last 25 months.

FIIs returned to Indian equity market in July 2018 after 3 months of selling, but the net inflows were lackluster during last 2 months. FIIs are reducing their exposure to emerging markets as US 10-year Treasury yields has risen to ~3% and emerging market currencies have depreciated against dollar.

The domestic mutual funds continued to receive robust SIP inflows. The total amount collected through SIP during July 2018 was `7,554cr, up 53% yoy.

The AUM has grown to `23.06 lakh cr as on July 31, 2018, a more than three fold increase in a span of 5 years.

The Indian Rupee has depreciated ~11%YTD against US Dollar and crude oil price has gone up ~20% YTD. The rising crude oil price and depreciating rupee pose significant threat to the Indian macros since we import 80% of oil to meet domestic demand, which can widen the CAD and increase the inflation.

The Economic Survey of the Government of India has estimated that a $10/barrel rise in crude oil price can increase WPI inflation by 1.7%, widen CAD by $9-10bn, and reduce economic growth by 0.2-0.3%.

India's current account deficit (CAD) widened to $13bn in Q4FY18, up from$2.6bn in Q4FY17. CAD deteriorated due to a higher trade deficit of $41.6bn. The trade deficit widened owing to an increase in merchandise imports, primarily crude oil and other petroleum product.

We expect rising crude prices will further widen the CAD and accelerate inflation.

Currently, the market is trading at an ~22%premium to its 10-year average P/E ratio.However, recovery in economic scenarioand commodity prices are favourabletailwinds for corporate earnings growth. InFY19, corporate earnings will grow ~20%after many years of single-digit growth.However, the spread between earningsyield and bond yield has been wideningsince November 2016.

Since the market is trading at premiumvaluations, investors should focus onlongevity to create wealth in the longterm. Besides, we advise investors to startinvesting in mid and small cap schemessince many mid and small stocks havecorrected significantly due to mutualfunds’ selling to meet the requirement ofnew categorization of schemes, GSM/ASMby SEBI, and Governance issues. In Debt,we advise investors to stick to shortduration funds since we are into a risinginterest rate scenario. 6
