Indian Indices: Asian indices opened flat to mildly positive after seeing a huge selloff on Thursday. The undertone remains weak as weekend blues will see caution prevail as emerging markets could be under pressure due to Brazilian crisis. The selloff in Brazilian bonds and equities could see collateral damage spill over to other emerging markets as index re-balancing takes place by large institutional investors.

Nifty finally succumbed to global cues and closed down almost 100 points as selloff in Banks, Metals and Industrials gathered momentum. The Rupee which has been an outperformer in emerging markets also fell sharply to close @ 64.88 almost down 70 paise. For today expect mild bouts of pullback with mid caps witnessing selling on rallies as investors book profits.

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. US Dollar weakness saw strength in most Asian currencies, which boosted sentiments with positive inflows into equities. There could be some more consolidation as US political rhetoric takes centre stage, which could see some more profit booking on rallies.

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. For today expect Tata Steel to lead from the front after posting excellent results last evening, while mid-cap housing and financials could be under pressure from profit booking.

The BSE Sensex is currently trading at 30599.56, up by 16.96 points or 0.06% after trading in a range of 30519.14 and 30642.94. There were 17 stocks advancing against 13 stocks declining on the index. The broader indices were trading in green; the BSE Mid cap index was up by 0.24%, while Small cap index was up by 0.10%.

The CNX Nifty is currently trading at 9507.50, down by 4.75 points or 0.05% after trading in a range of 9489.70 and 9521.00. There were 24 stocks advancing against 27 stocks declining on the index.

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.

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.

Indian Indices: Asian indices opened mildly with losses as North Korea conducting missile test over the weekend witnessed sentiment turn weak. This even as US data indicates the Federal Reserve would raise rates in June, which has seen the bond yields rise to over 2.42% on the US 10 year bond. This week should see some caution initially with any dip being a chance to buy as the global bull market remains intact.

Nifty hit 9450 and reacted sharply during midsession to close around 9400 with foreign buying being matched by local selling. Banks both Private and PSU bore the brunt of selling while Auto, Realty and select IT saw fresh buying. For today expect mixed reaction on the index while stock/sector outperformance may continue as local profit booking gathers momentum.

MothersonSumi (BUY Above 415 with Stop Loss at 407 for Target of 430): The stock has been in a solid uptrend for the past five months. On analysing the daily chart, Motherson was stuck in a narrow trading range for the past two weeks; however, the stock has finally broken out from this gestation period and has given a continuation pattern breakout. The price outburst has been accompanied with increase in volumes, which further accentuates out bullish stance on the stock.

Global Front:
In Overseas Markets,centrist candidate Emmanuel Macron won the French presidential election with about 66.1% of the votes, against 33.9% for rival Marine Le Pen. The victory on Sunday, 7 May 2017 for the 39-year-old Macrona staunch supporter of the European Union is likely to placate anxious global market investors, who have fretted for weeks that far-right candidate Le Pen would win and make good on promises to yank France out of the EU, potentially unsettling the eurozone and world markets.
The International Monetary Fund said Asia's economic outlook faces significant uncertainty and downside growth risks from any sudden tightening in global financial conditions or rise in protectionist trade policies. The IMF, which in April raised its 2017 Asia-Pacific growth forecast to 5.5% from its previous October forecast of 5.4%, said loose monetary and fiscal policies across most of the region would underpin domestic demand. India's growth is expected to rebound to 7.2% in the FY 2018 and 7.7% in FY 2019 after disruptions caused by demonetization, the IMF said.

Global Economic News:

Legislative calendar grows more challenging for Trump
President Donald Trump’s health care reform and tax cut agenda have faced significant legislative headwinds for some time, but those headwinds stiffened considerably after the president removed from office embattled Federal Bureau of Investigation director James Comey. Measures that require a 60-vote majority in the 100-seat United States Senate will be extremely difficult to enact given the charged political environment.

STOCK IN FOCUS
* Majesco’s stock rose by 2.4% yesterday, while the BSE Sensex was flat. While the company reported a disappointing 4QFY17, with revenue down 6.2% QoQ in USD terms, we believe underlying industry fundamentals and the key IBM partnership will enable Majesco to boost revenue growth in FY18E.

Majesco has also developed products for the L&A market; of the total estimated addressable market of US$25bn for Majesco, around US$15-16bn relates to the L&A market. We currently have a target price of Rs 556 on the stock.

Conclusion:
Indian equity market following a breather in the last week regained its upward journey. With the statement from IMD that projected a normal monsoon provided the required impetus to push Nifty to pierce 9450 mark for the first time ever. Post a big rally, the market invariably faces a hurdle in the form of resistance at higher levels. This is a normal phenomenon in a bull market, which was very much in play during this week’s trade. In addition, Friday sell-off led by Banking stocks saw markets giving away some of the gains. Yes Bank, ICICI Bank and Axis Bank stocks declined sharply on wide divergence between reported NPA and RBI assessed NPA. Pharma stocks remained under pressure as earnings continue to disappoint with latest Glenmark results reporting a wide miss on estimates.

Interestingly, BankNifty under performed against the benchmark index, and was the main reason for slowdown in index action post the breakout session on Wednesday. Furthermore, records kept tumbling on indices even as the global market rally and an historical low VIX contributed towards the gains.
