Inflation that developed fanned with an increase in crude oil prices due to crisis in Eastern Europe, concerns about slowing and stagflation in the global economy, the impact of Covid-19 on the Chinese economy and the increase in the results of government bonds to corner Indian stock markets, which continued their slides in May. Foreign portfolio investors who are worried continue to attract plutics in Indian equity in the midst of quantitative tightening even when domestic flows try to provide consolation.

Foreign institutional investors sell equity worth RS 37,600 Crore in May while domestic funds are pumped in RS 27,300 Crore.

RBI surprise

Although the fourth quarter revenue is in line with expectations, the Indian market is in a shaky land because the Reserve Bank of India increases the main interest rate by 40 basis points to 4.40 percent in a meeting outside the cycle on May 4 to contain inflation.

Experts suggest that this increase is needed because RBI falls behind the curve in the struggle against inflation. In the absence of an unscheduled increase, the increase in June will be far more stee and harmful to the economy and market. RBI has now moved from ‘accommodative attitude’ and has become more ‘hawkish’ in its approach.

Nifty, Midcap and Small-Cap indexes fell 3 percent, 5.3 percent and 10.2 percent, in May. This index is 10.2 percent, 14 percent and 23.1 percent, lower than their highest record.

“Pressure is in a wider market throughout the month,” said Deepak Jasani, Head of Retail Research at HDFC Securities.

Uncertainty appears

The Russian-Ukraine War which began in February was one of the biggest factors that triggered uncertainty. The crisis has resulted in a surge in crude oil prices, food and global commodities, which have neutralized the impact of intelligent recovery in large economies after Pandemi.

“The main drive for negative performance is the normalization of global monetary policy (to tame consumer inflation), the reappearance of pandemic restrictions in several cities in China, and the ongoing Russian-Ukraine conflict,” said Rajnath Yadav, a fellow researcher at a research colleague in Russia ongoing choice of choice.

Sreeram Ramdas, vice president in a green portfolio, agreed and said, “During the uncertainty period, companies with weak corporate governance, concentrated operations, and high levels of debt are people who witness the biggest withdrawal.”

Because of this, the small capitalization index has dropped by almost 20 percent of the highest of all time compared to the 10 percent decrease in nifty.

Shining star

However, many Portfolio Management Services (PMS) schemes outperform well and sensx and produce better returns last month.

Experts say that from a close to medium term perspective, the market is expected to remain under pressure and bearish sentiment tends to swallow not only benchmarks but also a wider market.

“While the wider market will continue to face sales pressure, important technical level violations can cause large hats under greater pressure due to their great institutional ownership, especially if concerns will soar economically,” said Jasani from HDFC Securities.

Experts say external and economic factors will continue to make investors nervous and careful in the near future.

“Considering the ability to absorb pain, we are careful of the performance of midcaps and small stamp,” Yadav added, the choice of intermediary, noted that with the assessment of the domestic index (good) benchmarks that dropped by around 25 percent, large caps were in the zone purchase value. “So at this time, we are more biased towards large capitalization investments.”

Those who are looking for new investments must consider large capitalization stocks, which are available with a 30-40 percent lower assessment.

However, Ramdas from a green portfolio is more likely to go to midcap stock.

“Investors with a slightly high -risk appetite must consider investing in stocks or midcap funds,” Ramdas said.

The midcap category watched the sentimental overdrives during the Bull Market and also the most steep correction compared to good or large hats, added Ramdas.

“From the point of view of the assessment, the midcap index is in 20x PE and considering MIDCAPS has a more geographical diverse operation and has a stronger balance of a small hat, the allocation for Mid-Cap at this intersection will be ideal,” he said.
