“There are two macro numbers that will exert a big influence on the markets. Externally US inflation numbers and internally India’s Covid data. The jury is still out on US inflation with Fed claiming that the spike in inflation in April is transitory and many economists & market experts believing that inflation will continue to rise to force the Fed to taper earlier than expected. We will have to wait to see how the inflation scenario play out. The other number, India’s Covid data, indicates steady improvement with fresh cases steadily declining and the latest number at 2.81lakhs is indeed very positive. And, the recovery numbers at 3.78 lakhs indicate a steady decline in total caseload. This means the present increasing lockdowns will be a temporary phase that is likely to be ignored by the market. The market is likely to ignore the worse-than-expected Q1 FY22 GDP and earning numbers since a turnaround looks imminent in the subsequent quarters,” said V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.
