Dear Investor,

The Union Budget was a pragmatic one with the much needed thrust towards rural and infrastructure sectors, which needed support in the backdrop of the slowdown witnessed in these sectors. The government committed close to Rs. 88,000 crores for the rural sector in the Union Budget with an ambitious plan to double the income of farmers in 5 years. Some of the other key announcements include a higher outlay for irrigation, substantial jump in fund allocation to Gram Panchayats for transformation of villages, 100per cent electrification of villages by May 2018, higher outlay to MGNREGA and increased agriculture credit and interest subvention. There was also importance given to infrastructure sector, with a higher outlay committed for roads and highways, on the back of an increased outlay in the railway budget. This has come at a time when private sector capex has been quite subdued.

The government also maintained credibility by adhering to its fiscal deficit target of 3.5 per cent for FY17 The market had earlier expected the government to defer the fiscal consolidation plan by a bit, to provide for increased expenditure as a result of the 7th pay commission and OROP. This fiscal prudence has provided comfort to the bond markets with bond yields softening post the announcement. It also sets the stage for a possible rate cut by the RBI in the near future, as adherence to fiscal consolidation plan was one of the key guidance factors for further monetary easing by the central bank. Consumer inflation print for the month of January has come below expectations at 5.18 per cent YoY for the month of January 2016, thereby increasing the odds of a rate cut. The net market borrowing announced by the government in the budget came in below expectations at Rs. 4.25 lakh crores for FY17, compared to Rs. 4.4 lakh crores in FY16. This has also provided support to the bond markets and helped to allay some of supply-side concerns to some extent.

The budget did not provide much for the corporate sector, which has been suffering from earnings contraction and downgrades over the past few years. Although it lowered the tax rates for some smaller companies and new manufacturing companies, it did not lower the corporate tax rate—as was expected by the market. One positive factor was that the government did not hike the service tax rate, which was broadly being expected to be increased to 16per cent in this budget. However, the dampener was the levy of a dividend distribution tax of 10per cent for dividend income in excess of Rs. 10 lakhs. Besides that, surcharge was raised from 12 per cent to 15 per cent on individuals having income greater than Rs. 1 crore. Also, the government introduced a Krishi Kalyan Cess, @ 0.5per cent on all taxable services, w.e.f. 1 June 2016. Another drawback was the recapitalization plan of only Rs. 25,000 crores announced for the troubled PSU banking sector, which was below market expectations of a Rs. 30,000-35,000 crores.

Going forward, the focus will shift again to corporate earnings and the global scenario, and markets will draw cues from that. Corporate earnings are expected to pick-up more meaningfully in FY17 and the markets may start to move in anticipation if earnings recover along expected lines. On the global front, major central banks continue to be in accommodative mode to help support the global economy, which is witnessing some downside risks presently. The European Central Bank recently expanded its monetary stimulus and also cut interest rates, and the Bank of Japan kept monetary policy steady after a surprise move of adopting negative interest rate policy in January. As expected, the US Fed kept rates unchanged, and expectations of further rate hikes have been tempered down to 1-2 hikes, compared to 3-4 hikes expected at the start of this calendar year.

In a nutshell, the performance of the Indian markets will be dependent on global risk appetite, sentiment, flows and how global economic growth shapes up during the course of the year.

Macro Developmentsalarmingly increasing refugee crisis in EU is becoming a cause of concern for both european and global markets. As a part of the measures taken to stimulate its economy, ECB (European Central Bank) has started its quantitative easing program by buying 60 billion euros of assets on a monthly basis and in the month of December, it has extended the QE period till March 2017. But in the latest announcement by the ECB in March 2016, this QE program has been increased to 80 billion euros which would start in April 2016. ECB also has reduced its deposit rates from -0.2 per cent to -0.3 per cent recently in Decmber 2015. But again it has been further reduced to -0.4 per cent. Also to boost credit to private sector, ECB had announced to conduct four new funding-for-lending operations starting from June 2016. In its recent statement, Mr. Mario Draghi, the bank’s president, has mentioned that the risks to the EU’s growth outlook were “tilted to the downside” because of heightened uncertainties in the world economy. In-line with this statement, the ECBs outlook for real GDP growth has been revised slightly down to 1.4 per cent compared to December 2015 projections of 1.7 per cent. Also on the inflation front, ECBs projections of inflation for 2016 stands at 0.1 per cent which is slightly revised downwards compared to December 2015 projections. These downward projections signifies that EU along with other economies of the world remains to be impacted by weak domestic and global economic growth.

Japan's economy continues to be on a moderate recovery trend. Bank Of Japan (BoJ) in its monetary policy meeting in March 2016,has held interest rates at minus 0.1 per cent. BoJ is still grappling with the shock wave that it has sent across the world due to its unprecedented landmark decision of entering into negative interest rate zone that was announced in January 2015. This decision has actually worked against BoJ, as the decision led to financial trade unions scrapping their wage demands which is counter productive for boosting inflation – which is very much required for Japanese economy at this juncture. Higher wages are the fuel the BoJ needs for higher consumption and higher inflation. Chinese economy continues to be struggling as its industrial output has further slowed down and also exports fell 25.4 per cent in February 2016 compared to 11.2 per cent fall recorded in January 2016. With the fall in exports and excess output from factories and industries and China’s plans to close down many factories might add to the already existing strikes and labour protests. As China’s economy started slowing down after tight more than two decades of extraordinary growth, strikes and labor protests have already erupted across the country. Factories, mines and other businesses are withholding wages and benefits, laying off staff or shutting down altogether. This had further added to the problems in the Chinese economy. Amidst the global economic slowdown, global investors are closely watching the developments in the Indian economy. Domestic issues like growing NPAs in banks, tight rope walk for the government on fiscal consolidation, disappointing corporate earnings, seems to be the dampeners for the economic growth. But with announcements in the Union Budget 2016-17 aiming at fiscal prudence and economic growth and supportive stance by the RBI, we can expect a sooner than expected economic recovery in India.

All eyes would be on the month of March 2016 as central banks of most of the major economies in the world are scheduled to have their respective monetary policy meetings this month. Due to the existing global turbulences, the outcome of these meetings would be closely watched by the investors world-wide. European Central Bank (ECB) in its recent statement has raised the tempo of its QE (Quantitative Easing) to 80 billion euros per month effective from April 2016. It was at 60 billion euros (per month) when it has started this QE almost a year back to stimulate the euro area’s struggling economy. US has hiked its interest rates in the month of December, 2015 while signalling at further rate hikes based on the progress of its economy in the coming months. US economy is believed to be on the growth path and so markets are eagerly awaiting the outcome of the US fed meeting this month. Bank of Japan (BoJ) in its monetary policy meeting this month has kept the key rates unchanged. In a shocking event in the month of January 2016, BoJ has entered into a negative interest rate regime to spur growth which was not readily accepted by the global markets. Thus March 2016 would be under scanner for investors world-wide as the outcome of these monetary policy meetings of major economies might have major impact on the global markets.

With the rate hike announcement by the US Fed in the month of December 2015, it had set the most awaited rate hike trend for the US economy. This decision had a major impact on the global markets and also resulted in the strengthening of US dollar versus major currencies globally. During this historic announcement, US Fed had hinted at future rate hikes based on consistent growth the US economy in the coming months. Some of the major factors considered to track US economic growth are the Inflation, unemployment rate, consumer spending, etc. The current unemployment in the US stands at 4.9 per cent in February 2016, unchanged from the January rate but was at 5 per cent in the earlier months. Also the Initial claims for state unemployment benefits declined 18,000 to a seasonally adjusted 259,000 for the week ended March 5, 2016 and as per the Labour Department announcement; this is the lowest reading since mid-October 2015. On the inflation aspect, US Fed policy makers have been closely watching oil price movements which have significant impact on the inflation in the US economy. With global oil prices inching up in the last few weeks, inflation moving back toward fed’s 2-percent target rate seems to be possible as the input costs would move up. Added to this, there seems to be an upward trend on the consumption front. As per the “Personal Income and Outlays” report for January 2016 released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis on in the last week of February 2016, PCE Price Index in the United States increased to 109.96 Index Points in January 2016 from 109.73 Index Points in December of 2015. As these factors which might influence US fed’s rake hike decision augurs well for a possible rate hike, US fed policy meeting scheduled this month would be closely watched by the investors world wide.

Developments in the euro zone are quickly taking toll on the global markets. Eurozone has been struggling under sinking economy and fears of deflation setting in. Adding to these,

progress closer to the date. Japanese 10 year bonds turned negative after Bank of Japan announced it is open towards negative interest rates and will keep them low to boost growth. Emerging market bonds rallied as they saw some flows after a sell off in the previous month.

In the Union Budget, lot of emphasis and focus was on the rural economy and agriculture, with the sector under trouble after two consecutive years of drought. The government committed more than Rs. 87,000 crores for the rural sector. There was also importance given to infrastructure sector, with a higher outlay committed for roads and highways, on the back of an increased outlay in the railway budget. This has come at a time when private sector capex has been quite subdued. However, the overall capital expenditure is budgeted to grow by around 4 per cent YoY and revenue expenditure is budgeted to grow at 12 per cent YoY in FY17.

The government is going to adhere to its fiscal deficit target of 3.5 per cent for FY17, and also said that it will achieve 3.9 per cent target for FY16. The market had earlier expected the government to defer the fiscal consolidation plan by a bit, to

Fixed Income - India

Fixed income markets remained one of the best performing asset class in Feb as investors rushed into bonds after a rout in equities and commodities hit returns. US 10 year treasuries rallied almost 20bps to touch 1.74 per cent levels after investors rushed into safe haven assets as volatility rose. Economic data continues to remain mixed and that has led to volatile moves in the bond market as well along with being guided by divergent monetary policies across the globe. Bond market participants expect no more rate hike or maybe one more hike by end of the year as against the Fed dots expectations of 4 rate hikes this year. US economy however remains the most strongest among the developed markets and this should see inflows into US equities along with inflows into bonds whenever there is a risk off situation. On the other hand European bonds rallied after ECB gave signals that it may cut interest rates more and boost the QE to bring growth and inflation back. German 10 year bunds is back to levels seen before 15 months while its 1-3 year bunds are trading at negative levels. The peripherals like Spain, Italy etc also rallied on the same even though some risks remain in EU as Britan has announced a referendum on whether to be a part of the EU or not, this may weigh on trader’s mind as we

provide for increased expenditure as a result of the 7th pay commission and OROP. However, the government has been able to stick to the target by keeping a control on total expenditure, which is budgeted to grow around 10.8 per cent YoY in FY17. It also sets the stage for a possible rate cut by the RBI in the near future, as adherence to fiscal consolidation plan was one of the key guidance factors for further monetary easing by the central bank. Total revenue growth for FY17 budgeted at 15.5 per cent YoY vs. 8.4 per cent in FY16 which is helped by stronger non-tax revenue growth and divestment proceeds (under non-debt capital receipts). Under Non Tax Revenue, Telecom spectrum auction proceeds budgeted at around Rs. 99,000 Crs in FY17, which is quite optimistic. The government has budgeted for a divestment target of Rs. 36,000 crores and a strategic disinvestment of Rs. 20,500 crores for FY17. However, its track record on divestments has not been too good, with the government missing its divestment target for six consecutive years. The budget was a pragmatic one comes in the midst of a challenging global environment. Hopefully, it will help the Indian economy to continue on the path of growth, and standout on a relative basis, when compared to some of our troubled emerging market peers. Going forward, the focus for markets should again shift to the global scenario and to corporate earnings.

The Index of Industrial Production witnessed a contraction for the third straight month in January-16. The IIP contracted by 1.5 per cent in Jan compared to 1.2 per cent contraction seen in December and 2.8 per cent growth seen a year ago demonstrating a drag on industrial recovery. The industrial output slumped mainly due to the subdued growth in the manufacturing and capital goods sectors. Manufacturing de-grew at 2.84per cent compared to 2.18 per cent contraction seen in the previous month. Mining and electricity grew at 1.2 per cent and 6.6 per cent respectively. Under the use based classification, capital goods production fell sharply to 20.4 per cent due to poor investment demand and weak capex data, and consumer non-durables output fell 3.1 per cent due to weak rural demand in the last two years caused by poor monsoons. We believe that IIP will show gradual improvement going ahead due to prominent focus given in the budget for infrastructure, rural economy & banking sector.

Consumer Price Index led inflation eased to a four month low to 5.18 per cent in February from 5.69 per cent a month ago increasing the chances of a rate cut. Food & beverages index which has 45.86 per cent weightage in the overall index fell to 5.52 per cent against 6.66 per cent in the previous month. On a Y-o-Y basis, the food inflation fell mainly due to fall in vegetables prices from 6.39 per cent in January to 0.7 per cent in

February. The prices of pulses also fell for the month but still continue to remain at elevated levels. Compared to last month, the rural inflation and urban inflation have fallen to 5.97 per cent and 4.30 per cent from 6.48 per cent and 4.81 per cent respectively. The gap between rural and urban areas remained same as seen in the previous month. Service inflation (miscellaneous) continued to rise at 4.38 per cent, highest since Aug-2014, against 3.95 per cent seen in January and curbing the same may be crucial to achieve Mar-2017 CPI target of 5 per cent. Due to the accelaration seen in service inflation, Core CPI rose to 4.97 per cent vs 4.75 per cent in Jan. In separate data, Wholesale price index fell for 16th consectutive month on account of low crude oil prices and fall in vegetable prices. Retail inflation came in below the RBI’s target level of 6 per cent and is expected to trend lower given that India will receive normal seasonal rainfall and implementation of the Seventh Pay Commission may not have much impact on the same.

FIIs were the net sellers in both debt and equity markets in the month of February to the tune of Rs. 16,312 Crs. due to global economic slowdown led by Chinese economy. They pulled out Rs. 7,987 Crs from Indian equities due to fall in global crude oil prices and weak corporate earnings in India Inc. FII sold debt to the tune of Rs.8,324 Crs. in February, out of which Rs. 7,364 Crs. was pulled out in the week leading to the Union Budget, resulting in high benchmark yields and rupee weakening. Liquidity conditions generally tighten towards the last quarter of the financial year due to slowdown in government expenditure, advance tax outflows by corporates and fiscal year closing by banks. RBI has been active in liquidity management and average net daily liquidity injection has increased from Rs. 153 billion in Q3 FY16 to Rs. 268 billion in the Jan-Feb period. RBI purchased government bonds on March 10, 2016 through open market operations to infuse Rs.15,000 Crores into the system.

This is the forth such high OMO purchase in this year in order to provide flexibility to the banking system in its liquidity management. Liquidity has been quite tight in the system and this has put upward pressure on bond yields. Short-term interest rates have risen sharply in the past two months with CP and CD rates rising by 50bps and 100 bps respectively. Call money rates has mostly remained anchored below or close to the policy rate. Even AAA and AA corporate bond yields have seen an uptick by 15-20bps since Dec’15. Domestic liquidity conditions have remained tight contributing to overall elevated yields. Bond yields had shot up in the weeks leading to the Budget due to large supply of high-yielding state bonds, and expectations of a larger government borrowing in FY17. However, the Finance Minister’s decision to stick to the fiscal deficit target of 3.5per cent in FY17 came as positive news for the bond markets. Also, lower government borrowing plan as announced in the budget has instilled confidence among the market participants, resulting in bond rally post the budget. With short term rates being elevated now, any fall in the interest rates is likely to benefit short term funds. The 10 year benchmark is trading around 7.65 per cent levels and is expected to soften on the back monetary easing expected by the RBI.

On fixed income side, accrual products and short term income funds may be looked. The investment in Accrual funds may be done with a time horizon of 3 years and Short Term Funds may be looked at with a time horizon of 1-2 years as they carry attractive YTMs and will benefit from the improvement in the credit cycle and recovery in the economy. Investment recommendation at this juncture is that investors who are already holding long term debt funds when yields were around 8 per cent levels continue to hold while fresh investment maybe initiated at 7.70-7.90 per cent levels not exceeding 15-20 per cent of the portfolio.

The ability of any economy to perform sustainable growth will decide the financial performance of the said economy for the balance part of the year. Though most indices remained in red, the data seems to remain constant with modest economic expansion rather than the onset of an impending recession in spite of global geopolitical issues. Amongst the developing markets Brazil remained positive because of the commodity prices. Whereas Japan stayed in red due to it’s currency valuation and Europe remained in red awaiting the European Union Meeting.

The financial markets steadied by late February ’16 – early March’16 due to the stabilizing oil prices apart from relief in the enhanced value of Chinese Yuan and other emerging market currencies clubbed with some improved US economic data. Better economic trends reported in the recent past, has helped see a “ride out” of recession that has been an expectation globally. Though some points of concern remain to be watched out for.

Namely, a) the deflationary impact of negative interest rate policies, b) U.K. upcoming June2016 referendum on whether to remain a member of the European Union or not. C) if the Fed reserve rate is increased then the efficaciousness of ECB and BOJ, along with China’s effective necessary steps towards it’s policy making.

The recent economic data shows markets to be stabilizing, but has not been sufficiently strong to bring back the expected bullish trends. Negative interest rate policies have been used by the major central banks. Until the central banks are able to define the monetary stimulus into their respective economies global markets are likely to remain skeptical and the pressure of deflation could rise in the global markets leading to a lower interest rate on the longer run. In Europe and Japan, the combination of low oil prices, competitive currency values, reasonable equity valuations and continued monetary policy stimulus should be supportive for foreign-developed equities. Both Europe and Japan have tailwinds from stimulus, with prospects for additional easing if growth falters. Policymakers in China are committed to supporting domestic demand as the country transitions from an investment- to consumption-led economy. Having said that, while we expect modest gains broadly across foreign equities in 2016, indications of rising credit stress in certain emerging economies suggest that developed markets may continue to outperform emerging market equities.

Among market cross roads the U.S. equities are entering the 7 year bull market. It may be said that the macro and fundamental backdrops remain favorable for equities, inflation, earning valuation, interest rate and above all sentiments remains supportive for equity prices. However, drop in oil prices, slower pace of growth in the global economies, diverging monetary policies between U.S. and the other Central Banks globally, rising interest rates and basic firming wages may not have the required profit margins. Also, along with impending geopolitical issues risk profile for equities remain elevated. An increased volatility and muted returns are to be the hallmarks of 2016. S&P 500 till now in 2016 is at about 2,225 approximately 9 per cent higher than 2015 level. Anchored on the belief that the pace of inflation and wage gains will be moderate and future Federal Reserve rate hikes deliberate, effectively paving the way for cyclical sectors and companies that are growing revenue, gaining market share and that have thematic appeal to be among the best performers in the new year.

Equity Markets

Equity-India

For the month of February, Indian equity markets saw sharp sell-off as global investors continued to adjust the hitherto over-weight they have been running in their portfolios and also because of fear of adverse taxation policies expected to be announced in the Union Budget 2016-17. EM equities and commodities though saw some bounce.

FIIs continued to be sellersfor the month. Currently the markets are trading lower than its long term average valuations. Q3 earnings season was mixed, with autos, pharma and private banks reporting in-line numbers, whereas, commodities, PSU banks and IT reported largely weak numbers. While the RBI is currently in a pause mode, it has indicated its willingness to cut rates if fiscal room emerges. This should help private capex, though it will come with a lag effect. As stated in earlier communications, investments are clearly visible in segments like roads and railways. Overall, we remain constructive on the market from a medium to long term perspective. The key themes to play are autos, high quality private banking, select pharma and uniquely positioned MNCs.

Banking continues to showcase divergent performance with private banks delivering 20-30 per cent PAT growth and PSU banks reeling under NPA pressure. RBI asset quality review has revealed the perturbing reality about the stress in PSU bank’s balance sheet. Similar dismal set of numbers is expected for Q4FY16 which shall keep pressure on PSU banking stocks. We continue to recommend ‘Avoid’ on all PSU banks. From budget perspective, it was not expansionary which had a soothing factor on markets. Fiscal deficit target was maintained at 3.5 per cent of GDP which led to sharp fall in G-sec yields of ~28 bps to 7.62 per cent. Structurally, Private banks shall continue to grab the credit market share. These banks continued to grow

their credit, NII and PAT at healthy pace of 20-30 per cent in Q3FY16. Asset quality of these private banks which have retail credit exposure and working capital corporate credit continue to deliver stable asset quality. HDFC Bank, Indusind Bank, Kotak Mahindra and Yes bank reported strong results with stable asset quality. Correction in good quality private banks provides opportunity to accumulate these stocks. Among NBFCs, we prefer Mortgage finance and microfinance companies considering their steady growth and stable asset quality. Bajaj Finance, Capital First, SKS Micro and Satin Credit remain our preferred picks on correction.

Indian pharma companies sales have impacted in the recent times due to higher base, increased competition, price erosion in some of the key high-value products and currency volatility in emerging markets. Some leading companies have received warning letters from USFDA for CGMP violations (Sun, Dr Reddy & Cadlia). Recently, Aurobindo has also received Form 483 from the FDA for its anti-retroviral drugs facility (unit-VII). These Companies are in the process of remediation of facilities and

filing for site transfer of their key products. Companies are investing in new facilities with the objective of diversifying key products and filings across their manufacturing network. However, there will be a muted growth for these companies in the near term. India is among the fastest-growing pharmaceutical markets in the world and has established itself as a global manufacturing and research hub. US market expected to provide significant growth opportunities over longer term as huge number of ANDA filings are pending for approvals. The industry would benefit from pick up in the domestic market growth. However the near term headwinds on account of emerging market currency crisis cannot be ruled out.

Infrastructure space is still reeling under pressure and is showing no signs of respite. During the budget govt has taken various initiatives like a) `700bn allocated for Roads and Highways b) Steps to revive PPP’s: i) Dispute Bill to be introduced ii)guidelines for renegotiation of PPP Concession Agreement and iii)New credit rating system for infra projects and c) Infrastructure cess, of 1 per cent on small petrol, LPG, CNG cars, 2.5 per cent on diesel cars of certain capacity and 4 per cent on other higher engine capacity vehicles and SUVs etc which are steps in the right direction and positive from medium to long term perspective. Falling raw material prices and moderate

interest rate regime will aid the profitability of the companies going forward.

With falling commodity prices coal and gas were no exception. Both these are aiding the power producers and helping them reduce their losses. Solar power is gaining traction and we are witnessing aggressive bidding from players with a lowest bid made at 5.05/unit which has shaken many players. If the current scenario continues and with the governments thrust on solar power it would attain grid parity by 2020-21 out powering coal and other fuel based power projects. Recently the govt exempted solar projects from environmental clearance which will boost more investments in the renewable sector. Overall coal based power producers have been marred on account of under recoveries which put stress on their financials and balance sheet. However, recent government steps and cooling off of coal prices from their highs are likely to benefit these companies in medium to long term.

Gold prices witnessed smart rally during the month of February. Gold was mainly underpinned by global uncertainty, drop in stock markets which led investors to stay invested in gold as a safe haven investment option. On monthly basis prices gained by around 10.5per cent to end at $1234.40 an ounce at Comex and 29513 at MCX. However, prices were unable to break out from its recent trading range of $1200-$1250.

The US February non-farm payrolls release beat expectations, with jobs growth recorded at 242k against a market expectation of 195k. The unemployment rate remained unchanged at 4.9per cent. Employment gains for January and December, meanwhile, were revised upward by a combined 30,000.The government said 172,000 new jobs were created in January instead of the previously reported 151,000. December's gain was raised to 271,000 from 262,000. Wider measures of unemployment improved as the participation rate edged up. There were however some softer points from the jobs report, having surprised on the upside last month, average earnings edged backed to 2.2per cent (y/y) from 2.5per cent, whilst average weekly hours also fell. The average hourly wage fell 3 cents, or 0.1per cent, to $25.35. A fall in the average U.S. earnings lessened expectations that the Federal Reserve could raise interest rates at its next policy meeting.

Going ahead, investors will be watching more U.S. data to gauge the impact on stocks and the Federal Reserve's monetary policy. Weakness in economic data and global uncertainty will continue to postpone expectations of the FED’s next rate hike and will be the most paramount factor in gold’s ability to continue an uptrend. Dollar movements will also be closely tracked as any upside in dollar may cause a setback in gold rally.If U.S. data comes negative, it will help to increase the likelihood that the Federal Reserve may raise rates in June, then that could be the trigger for a selloff in gold. Overall, prices should come out from their recent consolidation phase to take a clear direction.

Technical outlook:

Gold market made a rounding bottom at the end of last year and has started the year 2016 on a positive note. Prices have gained by nearly 16per cent since the beginning of this year. In line with our previous view prices are sustaining above $1200 mark. Till prices hold above this level, we can expect prices to remain steady. Also, prices should break the range of $1200-$1250 for further clarity related to their direction.

Copper prices depicted range bound movement during February but witnessed sharp rally as the March month started. LME copper breached the key resistance level of $4750 and marked a high of $4815(at the time of report writing). Technically prices have made a rounding bottom pattern and have breached the resistance level. Going ahead, trend is looking up but sustainability of prices will be important for continuing the upwards momentum. At MCX, key support is at 317 and resistance is at 333.

Aluminium trend looks positive till prices are trading above support at 105, while on the upside break above 110 will likely pave the way upside towards 115.

Lead trend looks positive till prices are trading above 118. Prices are expected to take resistance around 127. Breach above 127 may lead

to new high towards 132. At LME key resistance is at $1860. Break above this level may take it higher towards $1920-$1970.

Zinc's overall trend looks up till it holds support at 118. Break above 122 may take prices up towards 127-130.

Nickel's overall trend looks flat with resistance at 612 and support at 570. Break above 615 will turn the trend bullish and may take prices up towards 630-650.

Oil prices ended marginally higher on monthly basis but depicted sharp recovery from its recent low, indicating that prices were unable to sustain at lower levels. At Nymex prices ended at $33.75 after making a low of $26.05. Buyers shrugged off record high U.S. crude stockpiles and focused on an OPEC plan to freeze production, keeping alive the notion that market has bottomed from a near 2-year sell-off.OPEC member Venezuela said a total of 15 oil producing countries will attend a meeting planned later this month on freezing output at January's highs.

Diplomatic activity between the OPEC and other major producers to address the supply glut by freezing output has helped feed a 25per cent price gain in the last 2-1/2 weeks from 12-year lows.Going ahead prices will be driven by OPEC decision over production cut, dollar movements, crude oil inventory data and US Fed decision over interest rate hike.

Technically on monthly chart, crude oil price trend is showing consolidation at bottom. Prices need to break below $26 at Nymex for further sell off while resistance is at $36. Break above this level may lead to further upside towards $40. At MCX, key resistance is at 2450. Weekly charts are showing a positive momentum. Break above 2450 may lead to rally towards 2550-2600.

Foreign exchange markets continue to remain volatile during the month of February as divergent monetary policies led to some sharp moves in major currencies like the Yen. Weakness in equity markets and uncertainty in global growth have seen money going back into safe haven assets. Broader measure of volatility in foreign currency markets reached its highest level since 2011 and is expected to be volatile going ahead.

USD remained strong due to inflows into the treasuries as equity market weakness supported it and the DXY index is close to multi year highs. On the economic front, data continues to remain mixed and the Q4 GDP was revised upwards and Q1 of 2016 is expected at 2 per cent growth. US FOMC meeting will be the key driver in the near term as the market expects no rate hike from them this year while March 16th meeting outcome is keenly watched. According to the latest CFTC data, leveraged funds have increased their net long USD positions by USD 600mn to USD 13.7bn for the week ended 8th March and the buying was seen against EUR and GDP.

EUR has weakened from early Feb high of 1.14 and closed at 1.09 levels as traders expect ECB to be in a softening mode going ahead. Economic data continues to remain weak and the fear of Brexit may hit the EUR negatively as Britain has set a referendum to consider exiting from EU. The overhang of Brexit and weak growth this year may keep the EUR volatile for rest of the year. ECB is expected to be very accommodative in its policy stance and may do more to boost growth. EUR may weaken as the net short EUR position rose to USD 1.8bn to USD 8.1bn as of 8th March and fundamentally it may touch 1.02 levels by end of 2016.

Japanese Yen was the best performing currency in Feb as it appreciated around 4 to close at 112.6 levels against the market expectations of a weakening. JPY appreciated mainly on account of safe haven buying and further exacerbated by a short covering rally. Bank of Japan officials are uncomfortable with the sudden rise as JPY strength may hit its exports and derail growth. JPY is expected weaken as that’s the aim of its central bank but the latest CFTC data shows that leveraged funds are net long JPY positions to the tune of USD 3.6bn against the short positions in Feb.

Rupee was volatile during the month and hit a fresh two year low in the fag end of the Feb; however the government maintained its FY17 fiscal deficit target at 3.5 which led to a strong rally in Rupee after the Union Budget on 29th Feb. It has gained

RISKOMETER : SEBI's Mutual Fund Advisory committee had concurred that the prevailing 3-level classification of scheme risk determined by colour coding (brown for high risk, yellow for medium risk and blue for low risk) is inadequate to calibrate risk adequately across all mutual fund products. Hence there was a need to increase the levels of risk depiction from 3 to 5 to accommodate a finer categorization of risk across the spectrum of MF products. Therefore the colour coding has been replaced by a 'Riskometer' as an easier to understand pictorial risk grading system.

Levels of RiskRisk Level Interpretation 1. Low Level Principal At Low Risk 2. Moderately Low Principal at moderately low risk 3. Moderate Principal at moderate risk 4. Moderately High Principal at moderately high risk 5. High Principal at high risk
