Market environment to be weak in FY14 & 15: Axis Capital

Here are experts equity calls for the day on how the markets are expected to trade:

Nandan Chakraborty, Axis Capital: We expect a weak environment for FY14 & 15 and the rupee could continue to depreciate next year. Our Sensex EPS has now come down by 3 percent to Rs 1,406 for FY14. Companies that could surprise negatively in Q1 include ACC, Ambuja Cements, Asian Paints, Bank of Baroda, Cummins India and HUL .
