Reasons for hope
The selling pressure by the FPIs has reduced in July’22, and so far, the FPIs have sold only a little over Rs 4,000 crores. The reason for the slowing selling is that the inflationary concerns are coming down. The crude oil prices have reduced, and this has given hope to the investors that inflation is slowing. It is still very early days, and if the inflation is slowing down needs to be watched.
If inflation comes down, there is a lot of hope as the increase of interest rates by the central banks will subside. The increase in interest rates has added pressure on the stock markets in the last few months, and the returns this year have been negative. Central banks globally have been hiking the interest rates, and the RBI has hiked the Repo rates by 90 bps in 2022. The interest rates were hiked in May and June this year.
RBI has maintained that fighting inflation is its main goal of the RBI. RBI is comfortable with 4% +/- 2% inflation. This year the inflation has been over the RBI tolerance limit of 6%. If inflation drops below 6% again, the stock market returns can be great as most of the concerns will subside.
