Indian Indices: Asian indices opened in the green ignoring the North Korean missile test and US internal probe uncertainty as ‘risk on’ trade continued to see equities being bought aggressively. OIl prices climbed above US $ 50 which saw energy stocks rebound as the US Dollar weakness saw flows buy into Asian currencies which aided the sentiment.

Nifty saw huge intraday volatility as the GST rates finalization gave FMCG bell weathers like ITC and HUL huge boost that saw Nifty scale 9500 on opening bell. However, big selling by foreign investors pushed the Nifty to below 9400 as rupee weakness saw selling intensify. Positive results which beat estimates by SBI lifted the sentiment near close to see a sharp pullback help the index close in the green. For today expect volatility to be the buzzword as we enter derivative contract expiry week.

Merkel’s party flexes muscles
German chancellor Angela Merkel’s party, the Christian Democratic Union, has performed extremely well in German state elections in recent months.

Earlier concerns over Merkel’s unpopular immigration stance appear to have faded amid a solid German economic recovery.

Domestic Market Overview
Markets may see some recovery, GST rate specific actions to be in limelight
The Indian markets reeling under global pressure slumped and major benchmarks dropped close to a percent in the last session. Today, the start is likely to be mildly in green and some recovery can be seen after the sharp fall of last trade. Traders will be cheering the GST Council finalising tax rates of goods and services under the four-slab structure with essential items of daily use being kept in the lowest bracket of 5 percent. The Council fixed the rates for over 1200 items under the Goods and Services tax. Lots of daily consumption items such as milk, fruit and vegetables, jaggery or gur, foodgrain and cereals have been exempted from tax, while others such as sugar, tea, coffee, edible oil, mithai, and newsprint have been placed in the lowest slab of 5 per cent. Luxury cars will attract 28 per cent GST plus a cess of 15 per cent, while small petrol cars will face 28 per cent plus 1 per cent cess, and diesel small cars 28 per cent tax plus 3 per cent cess. Consumer durables, which now face a total tax of about 32 per cent, will be taxed in the 28 per cent slab.

The panel will discuss tax rates for gold and some other items today and could meet one more time if necessary to decide rates on remaining items. There will be sector specific buzz based on GST rates and steel stocks may see some uptrend as the GST rate on coal has been fixed at 5 percent. The move will bring down the input cost and would lead to stabilisation of prices. There will be some buzz in banking sector too, as the RBI has eased the norms of setting up bank branches and said branches manned by either bank’s staff or its business correspondents where services are provided for a minimum of four hours per day for at least five days a week will be called a banking outlet. There will be lots of important earnings announcements too to keep the markets in action.

TECHNICAL VIEW:

9,300	9,338	9,365	9,427.90	9,468	9,520	9,600

Nifty loose firm momentum and tanks around 100 points from previous session’s close. It tested support of upward sloping trend channel and closed near the same in the end. The trend strength indicator (RSI) came out of an overbought state now on the daily scale.A breach below 9400 could distort the firmness & hence could seen as a strong support area. Momentum traders should maintained as a trailing stop strategy for existing shorts.
Bank Nifty: Low made was 22660 and close was at 22700 so bulls were able to hold the low of gann angles, holding the same we can bounce back towards 22820/22940/23110. Bearish below 22600 for a move towards 22500/22350. Bank Nifty made high of 22900 doing our target as discussed. Also Low made was 22628, so bulls were able to protect 22600 and close above 22700 suggesting bulls are still in game as bank nifty holding on to gann angles, Bulls above 22800 can see next move towards 22940/23110. Bearish below 22600 only, As per time analysis expect a trending move in next 2 days.

Conclusion:
Markets, in line with global peers, reacted sharply to the news that the US President tried to influence federal investigation, raising doubts over his policies ahead. Mostly sectoral indices, barring IT, ended lower and settled around the day’s low. Besides, caution ahead of the beginning of the two-day GST meet also induced the participants to book some profit.
Markets are slightly overheated after the recent rally and finally got the reason to lighten up. We feel 9350 would be crucial mark in Nifty ahead and any decisive slide below that level will derail the momentum. However, traders should see this as intermediate correction, which is normal and healthy for sustainability of the broader trend.

US markets manage to end with marginal gains even as Brazil enters fresh crisis with markets tanking over 10%.

Indian Indices: Asian indices opened in red with the Japanese 'Nikkei" falling over 350 points as stronger ‘Yen’ hurt exporters. With US bond yields falling by 2.22% there was a scramble to buy bonds as ‘risk off’ trade gathered momentum after the Trump/Comey rhetoric saw negative overtones. Globally, markets are perched atop huge highs and any correction will be sharp as paper profits turn to actual.

Nifty refused to correct as all intraday dips are turning to be buying opportunities. Today may be different and if the crucial support gets broken during the day then it will lead to profit booking as overbought market likely to witness sharper than expected corrections. Mid-caps are seeing huge profit booking and could be susceptible today as leveraged players exit long positions.

Indian Indices: Asian indices opened weak as profit booking seems on the cards after the heady run of the past few weeks.

Nifty crossed 9500 led by Auto, Banks and FMCG as foreign flows and left out feeling witness huge buying chase stocks. With most sideline sitters also jumping in the fray expect another final bout of irrational exuberance as Nifty moves into extremely overbought zone.

Indian Indices: Indian equity benchmarks extended their previous session gain as investors remained bullish about the prospects of a good monsoon. The benchmark indices -- BSE Sensex touched fresh all-time intra-day high of 30,590.71, while the NSE index Nifty touched a new peak of 9,517.20 in trade. The equity benchmarks made a positive start in early deals as traders took support from industry body FICCI’s latest Economic Outlook Survey which pegged India’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth at around 7.4 percent for the fiscal year 2017-18. The survey was conducted during March and April 2017 and recorded a median GDP group forecast of 7.4 percent for the current fiscal year, with a minimum and maximum level of 7 percent and 7.6 percent respectively. The pick-up in overall GDP growth will also be supported by an improvement in industry and services sector growth. Some support also came with the report that India’s monsoon rains are expected to arrive on the southern Kerala coast on May 30, two days ahead of schedule. India looks likely to receive higher monsoon rainfall than previously forecast as concern over the El Nino weather condition has eased.

The BSE Sensex ended at 30587.36, up by 265.24 points or 0.87% after trading in a range of 30363.37 and 30590.71. There were 22 stocks advancing against 8 stocks declining on the index.

Sector Overview:

The big getting bigger – category leaders reinforce their dominance

* Demonetization puts brakes on growth of passenger cars and motorcycles.

* Value continues to migrate toward scooters and SUVs, driven by changing customer preferences.

* Uptrading in 2Ws/4Ws continues, as reflected in the increasing share of premium motorcycles and PVs priced more than ~INR800k.

* Category leaders getting stronger as competition hurts second/third ranked players more.

We took a deep dive into granular data on the Indian 2W/PV industry, observing continuance of bigger trends in FY17, along with increased dominance of category leaders in both 2W and 4Ws. While demonetization had stalled a revival, there are early signs of a 2W export market recovery. Key highlights:

Sector Growth Outlook:

Demonetization puts brakes on recovery, especially of 2Ws

Demonetization had stalled the recovery in the auto sector, primarily impacting the 2W segment due to its higher exposure to the rural market and lower financing penetration. Between November 2016 and March 2017, while PV volume growth slowed to 6% (v/s +11% over Apr-Oct 2016), 2W volumes fell 6% (v/s +16% over Apr- Oct 2016). However, we note that normalcy has been restored in PVs (volumes up ~10% in March 2017) and 2Ws have recovered to record flat YoY growth.

Value migration toward scooters/SUVs continues

The structural trend of customers preferring scooters in 2Ws and SUVs in 4Ws continued in FY17. Scooters’ share increased to ~31.8% of 2W volumes (+120bp YoY). Similarly, SUVs continued to grow faster than the PV industry (32% growth in UVs v/s +9.2% in domestic PVs), increasing its share to 24.8% of domestic PVs (+420bp YoY).

Premiumization continues in both 2Ws/4Ws

The trend of premiumization continued in both 2Ws and 4Ws, with customers upgrading to relatively premium products. In 2Ws, motorcycles >150cc grew by 22%, driving up the share of premium 2Ws by 190bp to 15.4% of domestic 2W volumes. In PVs, volumes of vehicles priced INR800k & above grew ~22% YoY, translating into a higher share of products priced INR800k & above to 41% (+100bp).

Investment Rationals:

The big getting bigger: Category leaders gaining further dominance

Category leaders further strengthened their dominance in FY17, despite intensifying competition . In the executive segment, HMCL’s market share improved to 72% (v/s 61% three years back), despite the entry of TVS Victor. In scooters, HMSI’s market share expanded to ~57% (+170bp YoY), at expense of HMCL (-220bp) and TVS (- 60bp). In PVs, MSIL gained market share for the fifth consecutive year (since Manesar issue), now commanding ~47.4% share of the domestic PV industry.

New launches drive PV industry growth

FY17 domestic PV volumes grew 9.2% to 3.05m units, driven by ~30% growth in UVs and ~4% in cars. New products (including ramp-up of last year’s launches) drove entire growth, with 185% share of incremental volumes. The key volume drivers were Brezza, Baleno, Tiago, Kwid and Ignis.

2W exports showing signs of recovery; other players eating into market share of Bajaj Auto

After a prolonged period of weakness since 2HFY16, 2W exports are showing signs of recovery with ~12.5% growth in 4QFY17 (v/s -6% in FY17). With all the relevant players focusing on exports, the share of Bajaj Auto has reduced 660bp to ~52% of 2W exports (motorcycle export share shrunk by 580bp to 60%). HMSI gained the most, with a 400bp increase in exports share to ~12%.

Conclusion:

Valuation and view

We prefer 4Ws over 2Ws/CVs due to stronger volume growth and a stable competitive environment. Our top picks are Tata Motors, Maruti Suzuki and Amara Raja. We also believe that MM is an attractive play on a rural market recovery.
