Demand contracts for some time and supply also contracts with a lag. Post that demand starts to rise (post COVID), prompting manufacturers to increase supply disproportionately - creating a supply glut. This puts downward pressure on prices,inflation comes down. CBs turn dovish
This creates disinflationary phenomena. Though looks good on paper for equity markets, prices of all products come down substantially.
Earnings decline happens gradually over next few quarters. Downgrades in forecast earnings happen at this stage. 3 major economies like US, China and Euro likely in recession.
Markets will take positive cues from reducing inflation & hawkish tones of CBs at this stage
That can happen by September when markets may take positive cues and rally, but ultimately, #BullWhip effect will have its impact on disinflation, falling prices, rising inventories, falling margins and falling earnings growth forecast.

What factors to look for to understand which direction are #interestrates headed:
1. Total Credit in the system 2. Which gets divided into External and Internal 3. External focuses on #CAD 4. Internal: Private & Govt 5. Private - #CreditOfftake 6. Govt - #FiscalDeficit
3. External : #CAD (Current Account Deficit - difference between country's #Imports & #Exports) goes up, #imports become expensive, rupee depreciates, bringing in imported #inflation
TIME TO ENTER & NOT EXIT FROM EQUITY at this juncture
After yesterday's correction, NIFTY PE & PB have gone down for our Algo to show one can invest 60% in Equity. In such a scenario, we would recommend out of ₹100, ₹60 can now be invested in Equity and balance 40% in Liquid.
We then do value STP of 3X over next few months till markets remain in Yellow Zone. If markets collapse to Green Zone, balance amount in liquid can be deployed in Equity immediately.
What is 3X?
60 lacs/60 mths = 1 lac is 1X
3X in this case is 3 lacs
But please remember, that after 60% investment in Equity if markets correct, for some time that portion will show negative returns for a short while. That should not perturb us as these investments would have been done at reasonable valuation Zone.
When interest rates go up, price of underlying securities come down and vice versa. There is inverse correlation to interest rates and price of bonds
At the peak of interest rates, price of bonds should have corrected immensely. If we compare this in Equity parlance: when should one invest? When markets are down (cheap valuations) or when up (expensive valuations)?
Lot of #AMCs come up with different ideas, themes, sectors.
These are demands from #Investors as they have done well in recent past.
AMCs are manufacturers & will offer what is in demand.
Final choice to say YES or NO lies entirely with Investors based on their #NEEDs
What should investors choose and what should they ignore. A point by point guide on where and why to invest in certain #themes, #MarketCap bias, #Sectors, #AssetClasses etc.
What should be criteria for these selections and what should guide them to resist from Investing?
