“Domestic equities look to be flat as of now. We believe that high frequency key economic indicators for Aug ’21 in the form of GST collection, railway freight, auto sales volume despite semiconductor issues, power consumption, import-export data and fuel volumes indicate a sustained economic recovery on YoY comparison. While 1QFY22 GDP growth 20.1 per cent indicating a sharp recovery, there has been sharp contraction in sequential comparison due to the second wave of COVID-19 and growth is still lagging from pre-pandemic level. Hence, the economy still needs policy support from the government and RBI, which is likely to persist. Additionally, the low fiscal deficit at Rs3.21 trillion (21.3 per cent of budgeted) as on July’21 reflects that the government can spend more in coming months to sustain economic activities. These indicate a sustainable earnings growth in subsequent quarters. In our view, India is at the beginning of the capex revival phase and therefore corporate earnings recovery looks sustainable and premium valuation might sustain,” Binod Modi, head strategy at Reliance Securities said.
