Automobiles sales data for June was positive and reflects strong demand in the sector. We are positive on the automobile sector and private banks with a medium to long term view. We prefer to remain with sectors where there are earnings growth and better business prospects.
The upcoming result season will now be closely watched by market participants for support after the steep price fall seen in mid and smallcap stocks in the last few months.
The increase in minimum support price for kharif crops by the central government has been taken keeping in mind the farmer’s welfare. This is a positive step for the rural economy, and coupled with forecast of a normal monsoon, strong demand for capital and consumption goods is likely to continue.
The move was in line with the Budget announcement of hiking the support price 1.5 times of production cost. However, there is a concern that this will be inflationary and effect fiscal slippage.
