Domestic, global variables suggest FIIs flows to resume in 2019…

• Stability of macro variables is the key for FIIs’ allocation in India out of its total EM allocation

• In the table above, major blocks of FIIs’ inflows and outflows are correlated with these variables. Key macro variables that

have a high impact on FII flows are currency, crude, current account deficit, forex reserves to import cover, India-US yield

differential and real yield. The strongest impact is seen from currency. Hence, a stable rupee is essential for FII flows

• Currently, improved macro variables suggest a conducive scenario for fresh inflows from FIIs and DIIs

FII flow depends on following variables that greatly explain their positive/negative stance

Note : Marked in maroon are FIIs outflow episodes, while marked in Blue are FIIs inflow episodes . Tick mark explains the higher impact caused by that

variable while a cross mark represents lower impact

Current domestic and EM macros in risk-on mode

• Since the start of October 2018, as crude declined sharply, the key headwind for India in the form of higher current account

deficit and currency weakness has ebbed

• With 75% of MSCI EM basket negatively correlated with crude prices, the decline in crude prices has lifted “animal spirits”

for EM equities. Additionally, dovish Fed commentary on being closer to “neutral rate” has softened the year long rate

divergence problem that most EMs were facing. This has triggered risk-on sentiment across EMs

Trifecta of declining crude, recovering rupee and convergence in EMs are key catalysts for Indian market up move

In trailing four decades divergence episodes between S&P and MSCI EM has been a common phenomenon

Divergence trade : When S&P gives higher

returns than EMs

As shown, already 184 days period of S&P

outperformance is over, which is near

average

Convergence trade : When EMs start

giving higher returns than S&P

Now flows may start building up higher in

EMs as seen historically when S&P

outperformance has faded out after

average of 180-200 days

Key risk to flows mainly from global in 2019…

December 13, 2018 ICICI Securities Ltd. | Retail Equity Research 8Source: Bloomberg, ICICI Direct Research

Growing risks in US corporate bond

• US nonfinancial corporate debt is at its

all-time high and average credit ratings of

investment grade debt have fallen sharply

• Elevated leverage & risk of higher funding

costs point to debt servicing challenge

• Roughly US$ 2.4 trillion of the investment

grade (IG) has credit rating of BBB

(comprising nearly 50% of mkt cap of IG)

Continuous trade war may slow

GDP growth

• Trade war has been a major headwind

from the start of 2018. Trade tariff dispute

between US-China is at centre stage

• While there is softening of stance by 90

day extension for increasing tariff from

10% to 25% but major contentions in key

issues are unresolved

• If the trade war continues to simmer in

2019 then a global trade slowdown is

likely to feed into lower GDP growth

Quant Pick: Buy Asian Paints in the range of | 1290-1320; Target: | 1635; Stop loss: | 1110; Time Frame: 12 Months

December 13, 2018 ICICI Securities Ltd. | Retail Equity Research 17

Data Snapshot

Asian Paints has continuously found support near its

long term mean levels. Recently, after testing these

levels, the stock recovered on the back of a surge in

delivery. We believe that with lower crude prices and

expected higher FII flows, fresh upsides are likely to be

seen in the stock.

Data Snapshot

After a long consolidation since 2015, Nestlé India

surpassed its mean+2*sigma in 2017. Since then, all

major declines were limited towards these levels. We

expect the positive bias to remain intact in the stock

above these levels.
