Volatility spikes of last six years suggest major downsides should be limited towards 7350 in 2016

Since 2010, India VIX has surged towards 35-40% almost every year in May or September. Later, it consolidated, witnessed good upsides…

After 2009, the India Volatility Index (India VIX) made its top near 35-40 levels in all major panicsseen in the Nifty. In the last six years apart from 2012, the volatility index has surged towards35-40 levels every year. In the declines of September 2015, it has already made a high of 35.Despite recent selling pressure, India VIX has remained subdued and did not even move above20. Looking at the Nifty bottom formation behaviour in previous panics, we believe a level near7350 is a good buying opportunity for long term equity play.

• After the volatility surges towards 35-40%, further declines in the Nifty have been restricted up to 4% in thelast six years. The Nifty made a low of 7667 in the recent volatility spike. This means another 4% correctiony y y pfrom those levels should create a Nifty bottom near 7350. Thus, we believe declines towards 7350 shouldbe a strong investment opportunity

• Whenever volatility has spurted to the extreme of 35%, the Nifty has almost respected its previous year’slow formed on volatility spurt. Hence, in 2016, if a volatility spike is again seen, the Nifty fall should bey p , , y p g , yrestricted near 2015 lows

• Since 2009, it has been observed that the volatility spike towards 35% has happened either in May orSeptember. Hence, the early part of 2016 should be good for equities on the back of key triggers like theUnion Budget and the current oversold scenario in certain sectors

Nifty PCR-OI near 0.80 approaching oversold levels; could see reversal supporting long equity play…

• The ca tion in the b oade ma kets is eflected in indicato s like PCR OI hich a e still t ading at s b 1 0• The caution in the broader markets is reflected in indicators like PCR-OI, which are still trading at sub 1.0levels and now approaching oversold levels. In bull markets, this indicator has even traded at 1.5/1.8 levels.The low reading of this indicator suggests participants are sceptical on writing Put options and have beenmore active in writing Call options

• In the current profit booking leg since August 2015, post the initial spike towards 35-40 levels, volatility hasremained subdued. This is giving an opportunity for the start of Put writing. This would help in a pullback inNif PCR OI i h k d liNifty PCR-OI supporting the markets on declines

FII outflows in August, September 75% of total year’s outflows…

Aft i ifi t i fl f l | 36 500 i th fi t f th f 2015 FII fl i I di f th h l• After significant inflows of nearly | 36,500 crore seen in the first four months of 2015, FII flows in India for the wholeyear have, so far, turned negative in rupee terms. Majority of the outflows were seen in August and September where75% of the total yearly outflows were seen. Due to this outflow, the rupee depreciated almost 5% in these twomonths. The jitters before the Fed FOMC on September 17 were one of the reasons behind this outflow. In addition,crude oil prices made a new low of $42.2 per barrel in August, which also propelled selling from sovereign wealthp p g p p g gfunds. This still continued, to some extent, as Brent crude has come down to $38. Of late, India’s weight reduction inMSCI rebalancing has also led to outflows, which are still persistent, though at a slower pace

• Real return is the nominal return adjusted for inflation. This is the actual return for investors. With inflation in a coolingoff trajectory in India and the RBI being judicious in cutting rates, Indian markets offer one of the most compelling realreturns. It is likely to remain on the investment radar in the coming year

• Mutual funds have strongly participated in 2015. They have provided strong support when FIIs took abackseat. For the year, they have invested close to US$10 billion

• The effect of FII selling, to some extent, has been reduced by MFs’ contribution that has increasedsubstantially in 2015.

Rupee resilience vs. emerging market currencies…

Forex volatility index of global currencies has risen to itshighest level since 2011. However, the rupee has been able to buck the trend and remained strong as India’sattractiveness as an investment decision continued to remain in play. Along with this current investment climate, aproactive central bank and the government encouraging more capital formation from FPIs. The rupee looks like it isin safe hands. We believe the rupee is likely to continue to trade resilient in the range of 63-67

• Since July 2014, the rupee has outperformed all emerging market currencies. Also, comparing with its BRICSpeers, where Brazil has depreciated by 42%, Russia by 47%, South Africa by 26%, the rupee has only depreciatedby 9%. The rupee has also appreciated against developed currencies like the euro, Yen and Australian dollar as theeuro has depreciated 21%, Yen by 15% and Australian Dollar by 34% against the US dollar since July 2014.

Thesefactors have pushed crude prices below $38. Along with this, strengthening of the dollar against mostcurrencies has also acted as a dampener for oil.

While major rise in dollar seems over, gold should pull back from $1000-1020 levels…

• Gold was primarily marred by dollar strength and witnessed a 10% YTD decline as the dollar index wasstrengthened by almost the same percentage in the past year

• As per CFTC data, the leverage in gold futures is at the lowest levels since 2009. This may lead to some basecreation now for the commodity. We believe $1000-1020 should be considered as good buying opportunity

• Since 2008, the US QE programme was able to provide support to gold as the dollar remained subdued.However, expectations of a rate hike in the US led to a major surge in the US dollar. This also led to a decline ingold. With the first rate hike expectations already built up in dollar price, gold may find some solace. Downsidesare expected to be limited near $1000-1020 as the dollar may start weakening post a rate hike

• On the higher side, we expect a bounce towards $1230-1250 to be possible in 2016. Fresh long positions maystart building up in gold, which may lead to a pullback from lower levels
