Q) Do you think fresh record highs are possible in the October series especially after the RBI policy meeting outcome which promised liquidity and at the same time maintaining the accommodative stance?

A) Yes, we believe that fresh highs are possible in the near term considering the supportive liquidity in the market.

In the latest MPC meet, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) maintained an accommodative stance which was in line with street expectations.

Though, RBI’s commentary was more dovish against the expectations of hawkish given the increased fuel, and energy price risk.

RBI kept the GDP forecast unchanged for FY22 and the current inflation rate is within the central bank target. RBI seems to be comfortable with the inflation trajectory as it cut the inflation forecast target for FY22.

Q) Sectorially, IT, Auto & Consumer Durable stocks lead the rally. What led to the price action?

A) After witnessing a steep fall in the previous week, value buying emerged in IT stocks this week. Last week’s downfall can be attributed to the spike in treasury yields which weighed on Wall Street’s IT stocks.

Auto and Consumer durable stocks witnessed strong buying traction as the Festive season starts.

Q) Broader markets slightly outperformed the benchmark indices. What is your view on the small & midcap stocks? Especially the ones that are hitting fresh 52-week highs on a daily basis.
