Investors’ focus will be on macro data, which includes India’s retail inflation reading due later in the day, as well as the consumer price index from the United States on Wednesday.
A spike in inflation would keep central banks on the path of aggressive rate hikes.
Meanwhile, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) said on Monday it was putting in place a mechanism for international trade settlements in rupees, which banks will need a prior approval to use.
The RBI’s move comes as the Indian rupee touches all-time lows amid continued foreign portfolio outflows from domestic stock markets and a broadly stronger greenback.
“The dominant factor influencing markets – equity, bond, currency and many commodities – is the sustained rise in the dollar which has gained momentum during the last one month. Dollar has appreciated 5 percent since early June and 13 percent so far in 2022. If this trend sustains, it is bad news for EM equity. But now it appears that this ‘flight to dollar safety’ is a bit overdone and due for some correction.” says Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.

Debt mutual funds see Rs 92,248-cr outflow in June on uncertain macro environment
- Mutual funds focused on investing in fixed-income securities witnessed a heavy outflow of Rs 92,248 crore in June on uncertain macro environment, driven by expectations around an increasing rate cycle, higher commodity prices and slowdown in growth.

We expect a subdued 1QFY23 for pharma companies, owing to continued US generic price erosion, high Covid-led domestic base for most companies, RM inflation and higher freight costs. To compensate for the above factors, INR depreciation will provide some relief. In the US, there have not been any meaningful new launches this quarter. Ex-Covid, we expect domestic growth for the sector to be 10-12% yoy.We expect a sequentially improved performance of India hospitals business, led by higher domestic and international footfalls, post a slightly subdued 4QFY22 due to Omicron impact. However we note that IP and OP volumes are yet to completely revert to pre-Covid levels. We note that Q1FY23 performance is unlikely to be as strong as Q3FY22, which benefitted from a superior case mix, as well as higher footfalls, due to pent-up demand. For the diagnostic companies, we expect sequential recovery of non-Covid volumes, given Covid sales will slip qoq. We expect non-Covid realizations per patient to be largely flattish qoq. For DLPL and METROHL, we expect partial benefit of accrual of synergies from the Suburban and Hitech acquisitions, respectively.”

Tier 1 IT companies are expected to report strong revenue growth on a yoy basis and range from 2-4.5%. On the other hand, mid-tier category IT companies can report revenue growth in the range of 3-5% (covered by us). Infosys will lead the way with growth of 4.5% in constant currency (c/c). On the flip side, we believe seasonal weakness will impact growth of TechM (2.6% in c/c), Wipro (2.8% in c/c, 2.1% organic) and HCLT (2.4% in c/c). Due to a likely decline in BPO business linked to mortgage origination and refinancing, we expect Mphasis to report a weak quarter. LTI will report modest 3.1% growth due to lower pass-through revenues. However, Mindtree will lead the way on growth among mid-tier companies.

Rupee falls 13 paise to 79.58 against US dollar in early trade
- The rupee fell 13 paise to 79.58 against the US dollar in early trade on Tuesday as strong American currency overseas and losses in domestic equities weighed on investor sentiments. Besides, persistent foreign fund outflows and elevated crude oil prices kept the pressure on the local unit, forex traders said.
- At the interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened lower at 79.55 against the American dollar and slipped further to quote at 79.58, a decline of 13 paise over its last close. In initial trade, the local currency witnessed a high of 79.55 and a low of 79.62 against the US dollar. In the previous session, the rupee had closed at an all-time low of 79.45 against the greenback.
The rapid ascent to 79.9 that USDINR was lined up for yesterday, stalled at the 79.56 vicinity followed by a close near 79.43. This forces us to bring up 79.25 as the downside marker, as oscillator divergences are beginning to weigh heavily on the bullish momentum, calling for a dip. Brace for large moves.
