India
Emerging markets continue to struggle as the US and UK continues to head towards tighter monetary policy. Whilst it comes
with no guarantee that rates will rise next year, this remains the most likely next step for both major economies. However we
remain Bullish on India as a region to invest in across bonds and equities, an exception to the general emerging markets tren d.
Emerging market uncertainty continues to affect the results of corporates, with retailers such as Burberry and Adidas already
blaming foreign exchange weakness for lower reported profits. IT company, Cisco, is the latest to acknowledge EM weakness,
reporting a decrease in spending in the BRIC nations due to currency volatility and cautious growth.
However, India remains a strong emerging market, with Narendra Modi’s government making strides to make the economy
more investable. The Rupee has fared better than other emerging market currencies against dollar strength but still remains
on a short-term downtrend. India’s 10 year has fallen from a high of 9.06% to 8.15% this year.
Aluminium and construction materials giant, Aditya Birla, has done a U-turn on previous comments regarding India. They now
says there is “excitement” in the country and India is now “top again” in their list of potential investments. For the likes of
Birla, this government’s focus on cutting red tape to facilitate construction and development projects is crucial and puts In dia
in a good position for further growth and investment both domestically and internationally. The IMF back up this view saying
they believe growth in 2016 to be at 7.2% and will surpass even China. Investment in Indian shares has topped almost $15
billion this year alone.
Now looks an opportune time to buy Indian bonds, with a weak currency where a dollar interest rate hike has been priced in.
With US and UK monetary policy uncertainty, both the dollar and sterling may come off in the near term. The central bank has
expressed that they want to ensure money-market rates are at the 8% repo level and have already begun to engage in bond
purchases and sales to ensure the rate remains at that level. If looking to keep emerging market exposure but reducing risk o f
positions, consider Indian debt for growth and an opportunity to buy on.
