Robust domestic macroeconomics could help NSE Nifty 50 scale 17,500 and take the S&P BSE Sensex to 58,300 as India’s economy recovers from the covid slump, said domestic brokerage firm ICICI Direct. “With the peak of the Covid resurgence behind us, increasing pace of vaccination domestically and calibrated state-specific unlocking underway, we expect economic activity to bounce back sharply in the remaining nine months of the financial year 2021-22,” the brokerage firm said in a report. Benchmark indices have already surged higher helped by strong corporate earnings. The target set for Nifty implies a 10% upside potential from current market levels.

On the flow side, FII seems booking their profit as indices retraced from an all-time-high in the recent days ahead of uncertainty on the COVID variant. This along with RBI’s unexpected move in their forex book towards month-end could call the volatility back in the USDINR pair. Overall, additional fiscal plan, stronger dollar demand and variant concern could pressurize on the Rupee in the near term. Broadly, we are expecting that it will be trading in the range of 73.50 to 74.50 in the near term before the above triggers take it towards 75.00-75.20 levels over the medium term.

The much-awaited fiscal package was unveiled from Nirmala Sitharaman on Monday worth Rs 6.28-trillion focuses on healthcare, tourism, and small borrowers to keep the enterprises afloat in the aftermath of COVID 2.0 by extending the loan guarantee scheme and setting a cap to the borrowing cost. This is expected to provide a boost to the different sectors to stand on their own foot but from a government’s point of view, this will be an additional plan into their fiscal. Thus, given liquidity boosting measures will have a negative impact on the fiscal figure and slippage is likely to remain a big concern. Hence, rather than a welcoming move, we are seeing a slightly depreciating move in the Rupee. Amit Pabari, managing director, CR Forex Advisors
