capital markets and growing demand for goods and services we e-pect to see a strong

wave of capital e-penditure cycle during the year leading to tremendous opportunities for

Indian eBuities.

Dollar !ea,ness: Analysts continue to look for a weak &' dollar with the &' twin

deficits %budget and trade deficits* unlikely to be resolved anytime soon. 'tudies have

shown that flows into emerging markets rise significantly during times of dollar weakness

and India will continue to be a beneficiary of this trend. Indian #upee is e-pected to

strengthen further during 00: which will be particularly favourable for domestic demand

oriented businesses such as banks and automobiles.

Rising .ommodity 0rices: ?emand supply dynamics in both crude and metals call for

higher prices during 00: with increasing 5hinese demand and economic recovery in

Capan. This has inflationary implications for India going forward, though it will be a boon

for commodity counters.

.onsolidation: +II activity has been focused on large cap companies due to liBuidity

reasons, and hence several high Buality mid cap companies trade at a valuation discount

due to lack of investor demand. e e-pect to see significant merger activity among mid

caps which will enable them to gain better valuations under the institutional radar screen,

in addition to consolidation efficiencies. hile 5hina attracts significantly higher +?I,

India with its highly developed capital markets will be a beneficiary of +II flows at

increasing pace each year. To summarise, Indian markets have successfully absorbed the
