India’s economy is expected to have grown in double digits during the April-June quarter of this financial year, helped by a low base of the previous year.

A recent poll of 41 economists conducted by news agency Reuters indicated that the gross domestic product (GDP) rose 20 per cent in the June quarter, compared to the record contraction of 24.4% in the same period a year ago.

The rising equities amid weak FII investment and a jump in COVID cases could be negatives for the Rupee in the near term. The 1/- fall in the USDINR pair over the last two trading sessions doesn’t justify any shift in fundamentals. It is just that RBI had let the market react on a free-float basis. This could be an opportunity for them to make a comeback and pile up their reserves to increase their hedges against hot inflows. Broadly, we are expecting that the recent steep fall in the USDINR pair to get cool down shortly near 73.20-30 levels and bounce back towards 73.80-74.00 in the near term.

A distinguishing feature of this bull market which started in April 2020 is that it has been remarkably stable without any major correction. So, the newbie retail investors who entered the market since April 2020 (1.42 cr new Demat accounts opened in FY21) have been buying every dip, successfully. Now, with the Fed giving a commentary favourable to bulls, momentum is likely to take the Nifty to 17000. The flip side of this relentless bull run is the excessive valuation, which exposes the market to an unexpected sharp correction. This market has proved skeptics wrong, till now. Even while enjoying the party, investors should be prepared for a sharp correction. Partial profit booking is never a bad idea. IT stocks have turned a bit weak, perhaps due to dollar appreciation. But experience tells us that the performance of IT companies depends more on the deal wins than the exchange rate. So dips can be used to buy.
