Market Mantra (Nifty Fut/Bank Nifty Fut/SPX-500): 17/05/2018

Updated: 08:20

SGX-NF: 10760 (-4; -0.03%)

Expected BNF opening: 26200 (-0.05%)

SPX-500: 2723 (+0.25; +0.01%)

Note: Flat opening on subdued global cues amid surging US bond yields hovering around 3.10% and above the previous technical resistance levels of 3.05% coupled with ongoing US-China trade war as well as renewed North Korean “nuke war” tensions.

The Indian market may be on edge despite market favourite BJP has been invited to prove its majority within 15 days and the new government under Yeddyurappa will be sworn in shortly as SC register bench refused to put any stay on it, but called for the Yeddyurappa’s letter to the Karnataka governor and scheduled the hearing of the JDS+INC petition on Friday.

Thus there will be some more political uncertainty (suspense) in the whole issue as SC may raise question over the JDS allegation of MLA “horse trading” and Rs.100 crores (0.10 billion) offer (and a cabinet post) to each JDS MLA to support the BJP either directly through voting or indirectly through abstain on the floor of the house. BJP will need at least 8 more MLA (s) from JDS+INC post-poll coalition and 2 independent MLA(s) to show its majority in the house.

As a reminder, JDS+INC has submitted a list of 117 MLA(s) to the KA governor against BJP’s 104 and thus the JDS/INC coalition petitioned the SC on the ground that as a post-poll alliance majority, the governor should have invited them first to prove the majority on the floor of the house rather than the BJP as the largest party (as par recent precedents in Goa, Manipur states, where BJP post-poll alliance has got the advantage rather than the INC as the largest party).

The “risk-on sentiment” may be affected due to rising incidence of such “horse trading” culture in the Indian democracy and the “power of money” amid rising influence of small regional parties. Markets do not like such political uncertainty for long, which may bring “policy paralysis” and “political populism”.

Apart from politics, all eyes will be also on the economics (earnings, macro data, RBI, NPA resolution) in the coming days. So far Q4 earnings are mixed and the valuations are stretched, whereas macros such as the elevated and sticky nature of core inflation may keep RBI in the hawkish hold mood in June, while NPA resolution pace is slow and the NCLT path is going for more litigation.
