Dear Investor,
Market in June 2017:
Global indices tested new orbit of life
time highs while Indian indices remained in a consolidation mode
with mild profit taking at higher levels. June month saw drop
of 1.04% in Nifty, the first negative month after a run of five
consecutive higher monthly closings.

The Nifty made a life time high of 9709 but failed to hold its gains and corrected
towards 9450. Nifty midcap & smallcap indices also remained in a range and failed
to surpass their highs made in the month of May’17.
The biggest tax reform for independent India, GST has been implemented from 1st
July 2017 with simplified taxation structure for all the businesses which will help
improve India's Tax to GDP ratio significantly, as well as bring more traders into the
direct tax net. Activity in the Core sector rose by 3.6% in May compared to 2.8%
in April. FMCG sector maintained a gradual upward incline adding 3.40% over the
month with the trigger from GST further helping it recover its lost ground.
INR depreciated a bit from its recent high of 63.98 to 65 after the appreciation of
last five consecutive months. USD INR and Indian Equity market is having an inverse
correlation from last two quarters, so any move in USD INR would be keenly watch
to understand the immediate market sentiment.
In the June month FIIs sold equities worth INR3700 Cr. while DIIs bought equities
worth INR 6500 Cr. Sustained buying from DIIs supported the market to recover after
small declines. However, presence of participation from FIIs is necessary to drive this
rally to the 10K mark for the Nifty index.
Outlook July 2017:
The impact of GST, better monsoon, continuous buying from
domestic funds and Moody's comment on revision of India's rating are the key positive
triggers to drive this rally towards new trajectory, while outcome from FOMC meet
and absence of FIIs participations are the key concerns to dampen the momentum.
In addition, global cues especially international central banks' action, crude oil price
movement and currency activity will also act as key factors.
Nifty consolidated in a range of 250 points between 9450 to 9700 in the month
of June and now a decisive hold above 9700 could trigger the fresh momentum to
the cherished 10,000 zone.
