• As the Covid-19 pandemic continues to remain a bigger concern for the global economy, major central banks around
the globe have reduced interest rates to near zero to address the situation while emerging economies, including India,
have also reduced interest rates to historic lows
• While developed economies are facing deflationary pressure, the monetary easing around the world is expected to
continue in the coming year also as the global economy will need more fiscal support to recover. However, higher
inflation remains a major concern for India. Still, RBI is not looking at inflation and has clearly mentioned its pro-growth
stance. Thus, policy rates in India are also likely to remain unchanged in the foreseeable future

• FIIs’ favourite sectors remained financials, oil & gas and FMCG where most flows were observed. In the last two years, FIIs have
pumped in more than | 1 lakh crore each year from which major money flows were seen in the insurance space
• The pharma space gave strong returns with the flows. Recently, we have seen strong inflows in the space. We expect it to
attract continued money flow in 2021 as well, which should lead to outperformance of pharma stocks

Nifty may target Sigma level of 14700
Nifty target near 14700
The Nifty bounced sharply from its long term mean near 8500, which was also
seen in 2008 when the Nifty made its bottom near its long term mean. We
expect it to gradually move towards its mean+3*Sigma levels of 14700 in
coming months, which has been the Nifty target in all major positive trends.

~70% • Ratio of midcap index and the Nifty was
continuously declining suggesting the

underperformance of midcap index vis-à-vis
the Nifty since 2017. However, in the past
1.80 couple of months, the ratio has started
reverting from support level of 1.40 amid a

• As per the previous observation, there was
~30% correction in 2008, 2013 and 2018,
1.40
respectively, followed by an outperformance
~-30% of midcap index by 50-70% in 2007 and
