Adrian Mowat, Chief Asian Equity Strategist, JPMorgan has stated and we quote “India significantly underperformed emerging markets from November through into early March. Now it’s sort of time when the yield curve became very inverted. Monetary conditions were particularly tightened plus we had the corruption scandals and a government that was unable to really make any decisions. Since then, India has been performing very much inline with emerging markets. As the correction matures, India has a good chance of outperforming emerging markets. For now, I remain bearish and we have been bearish on markets for three months now. Markets are falling for the things that we were concerned about and quite simply global growth is weak. There is stagflation in developed economies with inflation in the US above 3% when household income growth is only 1%. That’s why the economy is weak. People don’t have the money to drive demand. There are similar stories in Europe. What is happening in the emerging world is a simpler and a very normal cyclical story. We have been fighting inflation. Central banks have tightened policy. The idea there is to slowdown growth, reduce demand and eventually the inflationary pressures diminish. So markets were too high and they are correcting lower. This correction will continue but at least we are facing up to the fact that growth is weak.”
