    • Starting with global macro, Brent crude prices have declined more than 15% from peak levels on the back of supply assurances from Saudi Arabia and concerns of a global demand slowdown going forward.
    • On the domestic front, the re-pricing of risk in the credit market and tightened liquidity have had a contagion effect on the NBFC sector. It is believed that most NBFCs will be able to tide over this environment while some better-capitalized private banks will be able to take share from NBFCs.
    • A positive point to note is that India has leapfrogged 23 places to 77th rank in the World Bank's global Ease of Doing Business rankings. This should raise the count’s attractiveness for global investors.
    • Fear in the market has led to distressed prices and good value is emerging in individual stocks. The recent correction could provide a good opportunity for prudent investors to build equity exposure for the long term.

    Outlook
    • It would be prudent for investors to allocate some portion of their corpus to midcap and smallcap funds. Valuations in that space have become reasonable and we remain constructive on overall economic growth.
    • In terms of sectoral outlook, sectors which will be impacted positively by a weaker Rupee include IT, Pharma, Metals & Mining, and Auto ancillaries. We also believe that for private sector banks, the increase in market share will be a secular trend over the next decade.
