1. The World This Week
July 1 – July 5, 2013

2. Equity View:
The employment data came out from U.S. on Friday. The monthly payroll addition was around 1,95,000
which is better than 1,75,000 which was broadly expected. The economic recovery in U.S. continues to
strengthen with every passing month. The unemployment rate is now down to 7.6% and the
unemployment or the pay rolls number which have been coming out month on month have largely been
surprising the market on the positive. This points to the earlier statements by the U.S. Federal reserve
that they would look at tapering QE III, if they believe there is sufficient recovery in the job market and
the unemployment numbers continue to come down.
So far U.S. continues to be on track of a strong macro economic recovery with GDP growth also bouncing
back with strong improvement in the real estate market. The mortgage market there has seen a sharp
uptick with new house construction and housing sales continue to look up on a month on month basis.
We believe that the U.S. macro economic recovery will continue to play out in the next few months and
we would look at more and more positive surprises from U.S. This has led to a significant boost in the
dollar index. We have seen dollar strengthening against the major currencies of the world including
Japanese Yen and Euro. We have also seen most of the emerging currencies like the Indian rupee
depreciating against the dollar. Rupee touched the level of 60 against the Dollar last week with almost a
10% depreciation since 1st Jan 2013. Other emerging market currencies like Brazilian, Riyal, Turkish and
Russian currencies have also weakened. This is largely on the back of more strong Current Account Deficit
(CAD) in these countries and slowdown in economic growth.
We believe that bulk of the depreciation in rupee has already played out. In the short term there could
be volatility but we would not expect very significant depreciation in rupee from these levels. As far as
the bearing of weak rupee on the equity market is concerned, like we have been maintaining earlier, we
continue to like export oriented-companies in the IT and pharma space. We believe that these are the
companies which will benefit continuously from this very sharp depreciation in rupee that we have seen
unfolding in the last two quarters. So pharma continues to be a top pick at this time and we also like
some names in sectors like IT.
We will have the Q1 earnings season starting in India from the 12th with Infosys coming up with its
numbers. We expect both topline and bottom line growth in Infosys to be muted. The Q-o-Q revenue
growth in dollar terms is likely to be between 1% and 1.5%. We expect companies like TCS and HCL tech
to deliver better Q-o-Q volume growth numbers. Recently there has been a successful merger of tech
Mahindra and Mahendra with Satyam making it the 5th largest IT Company in India by revenue size. We
believe that Q-o-Q revenue growth would be very robust in case of Tech-Mahindra and should be
upwards of 3.5% - 4% and that company continues to be a top pick in IT space. As far as other results are
considered we expect banking, pharmaceutical and FMCG names to deliver strong growth. We are
looking at earnings growth in each of these sectors of around 15% on a Y-o-Y basis. But for the market as
a whole on an ex-energy basis, we expect 10% earnings growth which would be driven by the sectors
which are mentioned before. We continue to remain cautious or negative on infrastructure and real
estate sectors.
