Fundamentals
It is not just Modi factor that is driving the markets; most of the crucial macro economic factors have turned positive indicating better growth prospects for Indian economy. One of the major causes for the last correction in August was Rupee depreciation, which has recovered and stabilized now owing to prudent actions of Raghuram Rajan. The Balance of Payment has turned positive from negative. The current account deficit, which had touched an all-time high of 4.8 per cent in FY13 – leading to a massive depreciation in the rupee-has come down to 2.3 per centof GDP during the first three quarters of FY14.
Foreign exchange reserves have jumped from $1.088 billion to touch $295.45 billion. Foreign exchange reserves had hit a 39-month low on September 6, 2013 when it touched $274 billion. Following several steps taken by the central bank to encourage inflows, the reserves started rising. Crude prices are stable, inflation is cooling down, FDI is increasing –the outlook is definitely positive for investments.
Coal prices are also on a downtrend which is a big relief for the power sector as most of them are coal fired and were badly hit by coal shortage for last few years.
