Market by 2026


Introduction

It has been a volatile 2022 so far, the world was still recovering from Covid crises and in between the new financial crisis surfaced in the form of Inflation, Supply chain disruption and economic slowdown.

The Inflation started showing its sign from October last year when the 10year US bond yield breached 1.62% that was result of COVID spending of 13 trillion USD which the US government spent by issuing the US treasury bond. In addition, the Fed tried to the keep the interest rates low for the short-term maturities. The effect of that was seen in the yield of long-term bonds which started trading at premium above inflation.

FED and other central banks were finding the best tools to take control over that situation. But the fallout from the war in Ukraine compounds the challenge and the Headwinds from the war added to large cumulative losses in output particularly for commodity-importing market and developing economies. Surging commodity prices have contributed to broadening price pressures, pushing inflation above central bank targets in most inflation-targeting countries.

FED, ECB, IMF and central bank of different nations realised if the inflationary situation is not tackled now could result into multiple consequences ranging from food supply shortages, debt distress, Unemployment, etc.

In April’ 2022 IMF issued a warning that about 60 percent of low-income countries were already in  or at risk of debt distress that could lead to widening spreads for countries with weaker fundamentals, making it more costly for them to borrow. The recent country to add in the list of default is Sri Lanka.

The best tool which central banks opted to reduce the Inflation is to raise the Interest rates to curb down the soaring inflation. Any tool/measure comes at its own cost and now this time the cost is to reduce the demand which is now seen in the latest PMI’s data of the different countries.

Indian economy and the impact of Inflation

 

Russia-Ukraine conflict has also impacted Indian economy badly

The annual inflation rate in India sour to 8 years high 7.79 percent above all expectation.

  • India’s trade deficit widened sharply to a record high of USD 24.29 billion in May of 2022, compared to a preliminary estimate of USD 23.33 billion. Imports rose 62.8 percent on year to an all-time high of USD amid a surge in values of purchased petroleum and crude oil on the back of soaring commodity prices.
  •  
  • The crisis has also pushed up the price of key essentials as due to rise in energy prices, fertilizers particularly Urea and Potash from Russia, that threatens to increase the agriculture fertilizer subsidy bill of the government by about $1.3 billion
  • RBI opted for the similar tool of Interest rates to cool down the soaring Inflation and increased the repo rate 90 bps in 5 weeks
  • As a result of rising inflation, supply chain disruptions, and geopolitical tensions and rise in Interest rate. The World Bank has cut India's economic growth forecast for the current fiscal to 7.5 per cent, which was expected earlier to be above 9%

 

Impact on Market:

  • Valuation: Even before covid, the Indian economy was going through a bit of slow down when the GDP was hovering around 140Trillions, and the market cap of Indian equities were at 150 trillion which consistently making Indian market trade above 108% of the GDP. Covid triggered a decent fall that brought down the ratio below the trendline to 78%.
  • After that the government took multiple measure to revive the economy by providing covid incentives, PLI schemes, disinvestment, make in India, etc which flooded the FII money in the Indian market with 27Trillion INR in FY 2021
  • But as against the anticipated GDP growth the revised GDP estimates triggered the overbought situation and as a result the market valuations become overstretched. As a result, Indian market witnessed a correction of over 10% so far this year, pulling out the FII money of around 10 trillion INR in just 6 months.

 

 

​

 

  • Market PE & IPO: 2021 witnessed highest IPO in a calendar year with USD 15.48 raised through IPO. 63 companies hit the market, many with bumper listings including company like Sigachi (listing gain of 249%). High valuation listings, High FII inflow took the market to the PE multiples of 32X (Which was clearly overbought)

 

Where do we see market by 2026?

 

According to the IMF projection, Indian economy to be a 353 trillion economy by 2026 which means, India would likely to register a growth of nearly 30% in next four years.

  • With many government projects in pipeline like to boost the Infra space.
  • Indian Government will continue to spend on Development and will keep budgeted spending higher.
  • A new era in Automobile sector in form of EV, will boost the Manufacturing PMI
  • India could likely to lead in Metaverse and IT sector will rebound back to its growth path.
  • India could also likely to become the next exporter of Speciality chemical in the time to come.
  • With mega projects on green energy, India could export over 500Bl USD of green energy by 2030
  • Therefore, we foresee the Indian market to be a 375 trillion market cap and Sensex could touch 79000 levels by 2026

Downside Risk:

  • Energy prices: Soaring crude prices can delay the Central bank anti- inflationary measure which could lead to interest rate hike than anticipated
  • NPA: Interest rate hike could lead to default risk my MSME. India has an estimate of 630 Lacs MSME out of which most vulnerable is 324 lacs Rural MSME
  • CAPEX delays: Interest rate hike, could delay the corporate projects, which likely to delay hirings/ lead to unemployment

 

Technical analysis:

According to our projection, we could see market touching 20000 levels by the end of 2023 and by 2026, market could cross 24000 levels which means about 58% return in a time spam of 4 years
