SEBI makes alterations in P-note for FII'S

Securities Exchange board or SEBI directed all foreign institutional investors (FIIs) to report 'immediately' any short position they take in the Indian market, but allowed them to report all other participatory note (P-Note ) related transactions once a week.

Although a section of the market players feels this could, to some extent, deter FIIs from creating short positions, dealers and broking house officials dealing with FIIs said this might not have any major impact on FII trades in India.

BSE | Nifty growth looks deceptive wrto FII's made

The Indian stock market has risen sharply on the back of renewed foreign inflows in recent weeks. The Sensex is up 45% compared to its level in both January and April. FII inflows, which were negative in 2008-09, have turned positive. In April and May, we had $5 billion of net FII inflows into the Indian stock market.

First, it would be unwise to make any linear extrapolation from the FII inflows seen so far. In 2008-09, foreign investors fled the Indian market just as they did other emerging markets. FII inflows in 2008-09 were minus $11 billion. This was a panic reaction to troubled conditions in the US and Europe. In such conditions, there is a ‘flight to safety’- investors tend to pull their money out of risky assets and park it in US treasuries.

Since 1991, only once before have we seen negative FII flows and that was in 1998-99 when FII flows were minus $390 million. At that time, the crisis was centred in East Asia. Now, it’s centred in the US, which is by far the biggest source of portfolio flows. That is why FII outflows in 2008-09 have been far larger than in the East-Asian crisis.

Investors see the global situation as stabilising although recovery will be a long drawn-out affair. They also think that some emerging markets, such as India and China, will do better than thought a few months ago. The withdrawal of FII funds from India last year caused valuations to drop to a level where entry became attractive. So, FII flows have returned with a bang.

But this does not mean that FII inflows will continue at anywhere near the same pace as in April-May. FII flows attained their peak of $20 billion in 2007-08 at the height of the global boom. The next highest level was $11 billion in 2003-04. It is unlikely that FII flows in the current year can match the 2007-08 level.

FII to remain positive in 2009

India Infoline expects domestic equities market to generate a return of over 30% in 2009. The prediction stems from three broad views - India is relatively better positioned for stronger and faster economic growth than rest of the world, a reversal of downward pressure on the rupee due to the turnaround in current account and sharp decline in cost of capital.

According to India Infoline analysts, while corporate capex will likely take a long time to recover, public spending and infrastructure spending will hold up well. Even as cost of capital is rapidly coming off, domestic liquidity conditions have improved and thus credit availability should improve. The sharp declines in commodity prices have reduced the cost of building infrastructure by 15-25% across the board.

"Notwithstanding large declines expected in external trade, a deceleration in industrial and services sectors and the investment cycle, we believe India is well positioned to grow its GDP by at least 5-6% in 2009. Industrial growth too will likely revive more quickly, owing to large capacity additions in core sectors, especially those where growth is constrained by supply," the Infoline report said.

Although India is still trading at a 20% premium to the MSCI EM index, this premium is lower than the average of 40% that it enjoyed over the past five and half years. Thus in a relative sense, Indian equities have been de-rated vis-a-vis emerging markets.

"The brokerage believes, FII flows will be positive in 2009, led mainly by increased weights in emerging markets and global funds. Earnings growth momentum and macro data will be bad for the next few quarters, but markets will look for growth cues beyond the next 2-3 quarters," the India Infoline report said.

The report states that earnings growth, except in commodities and select domestic cyclicals, will either be resilient or in most cases will likely be better than what markets are pricing in, especially from the third quarter of next fiscal. The brokerage has picked Tata Steel, Suzlon Energy, Bajaj Auto, ICICI Bank and DLF Ltd as the 'dark horses' for 2009. India Infoline is overweight on financials and consumer staples sectors and underweight on IT and energy sectors.
