Nifty Fut (May) today closed around 9535, almost flat (+0.13%) after making a day high of 9538 & low of 9494 in a day of consolidation. Indian market today opened almost flat following tepid global cues amid US political chaos and a spate of softer economic data. US stock Futs were down in the morning Asian session after report that Trump has instructed his former (sacked) FBI director to not proceed further into alleged Russian links of one his close aide (former NSA). All these ongoing political tuurmoil may be serious or may not be, but one thing is clear that it’s enough to distract the core theme of Trumponomics itself. As a result, USD/US bond yields are drifting lower and USDJPY is trading below the 113-112.50 area for further “risk off” mode.



As par some political experts, the current crisis may be turn into a serious issue of “obstruction of justice” and may also be an “impeachable offence” for Trump in the coming days!! Thus the latest “Trump Tantrum” for the issue of FBI director over investigation with Russian link and alleged sharing of “classified information” with Russia may bring Trump into a serious political crisis and thus USD is under pressure across the board, causing some “risk off” sentiment across the  globe.



After yesterday’s “NAMO” celebration rally on its 3rd anniversary of “Modi Sarkar”, Indian market was also under some stress, following tepid global cues. Although, European market opened in a subdued tone today, it got some support from upbeat CPI no (Apr) for EZ, which flashed as 1.9% against estimate of 1.9% (prior: 1.9%). The figure is close to ECB’s price/inflation target of 2%. Thus some rebound in EU & global market after noon today also supported the Indian market sentiment to gain some ground from red and close almost flat in slight green. As valuations are quite high at Nifty 9500, domestic smart money (DII) may be continued to be in the side line; some FII buying is supporting the market in a stock/sector specific story.



Apart from global issues (US political turmoil, China jitters) & stretched valuation concern, Indian market may be also concerned for any GST related business disruptions in the coming days, if the Govt indeed go for the 1st July implementation day of the same with barely 45 days in hand and almost all the laws, rules & regulations, product & service specific GST rates are still in the drafting mode; all the stakeholders now has to work very hard, almost 24/7 for its smooth implementation from July’17 as overall preparedness may be still at very early stage.



Today, Indian market sentiment may be also supported by some news that Govt may permit 100% FDI in single brand retail under “Make In India” category. Also, Govt approved coal linkage policy today, which is positive for CIL & some power cos.



Nifty today was supported significantly by Tata Steel, which closed by over 8% on the back of upbeat Q4FY17 numbers; strong EBITDA growth and less concern for its UK pension liability (?). But going ahead, huge debt, doubt over ongoing JV talk with the German co and moreover still huge UK pension liability & subsequent issues for its deleveraging effort may also be some of its headwinds.



Apart from Tata Steel, Nifty was also supported by Tata Motors, SBI (better result prospect), Infratel, ICICI Ban; but dragged by Cement counters (after below expected result from Shree Cement and price cut by ACC), Yes Bank (NPA divergence issue) and some PSBS.



Overall, sustaining above 9600-9680 area, Nifty may further rally towards 9865-10100 area in the coming months, provided earnings (EPS) catch up with the fast expanding valuation multiple (PE); market is expecting a CAGR of 20-25% for FY-18. Apart from earnings, market may also focus on the modalities of GST implementation & any disruption there of (because of lack of input tax credit clarity, both manufacturers & traders may keep the stock at minimal level in the coming months affecting the revenue).



All eyes may be also on the forthcoming monsoon, currency movement (INR), Govt’s policy push and above all the fund inflows (FII/DII/ retails), which may be the sole reason for such rally of over 20% in Nifty for the last five months.

Some analysts are expecting an EPS of around 430 & 510 for FY-17 & FY-18 against actual FY-16 EPS of around 370 for Nifty; i.e. market is expecting a CAGR of 16% & 19% for FY-17 & 18. But considering the actual run rate for previous 5 years and average single digit growth of 7% the consensus of 16-19% growth in EPS may be little on the higher side. As par this run rate, Nifty EPS for FY-17 may be around 394 & 418 (at 6.26% projected CAGR) in the normal scenario.
