Indian Markets Outlook for the week – 13.Jun.2016 to 17.Jun.2016
(Economic data, US Fed policy key triggers next week)


The key domestic economic data, outcome of the US Federal Open Market Committee meet, and result of the MSCI index review will drive equity markets in the coming week. While industrial growth data for April is due, inflation data for May based on both the Consumer Price Index and Wholesale Price Index will be announced on Monday and Tuesday, respectively.

Any negative development will trigger selling, but market participants do not see the 8000-point mark being broken on Nifty 50. The growth in India's industrial production is likely to rise to 1.0% in April from 0.1% a month ago, on the back of an improvement in core sectors.

The IIP data will not have a major impact but there might be a knee-jerk reaction if it is below expectations. Market participants are expecting the CPI inflation to be in the range of 5.3-5.5% this time. After the Reserve Bank of India, in its monetary policy, cited upside risks to inflation, the to be released data is crucial as it may decide the future course of action to be taken by the central bank on key interest rates.

In April, consumer price inflation had risen to a three-month high of 5.39%, primarily due to a rise in food prices. On the global front, investors are uncertain about the policy action of the US Federal Reserve in the backdrop of Chair Janet Yellen's recent comments and the country's jobs report data for May. The market capitalisation of A-shares is the second highest after US stocks. Inclusion of
these shares will see foreign funds shifting money from emerging markets to these shares.
