Traditionally, May has not been the best of month for equity investors, with the market declining more often than it has risen. But June seems to be the exact opposite. In last 20 years, the BSE Sensex has risen 14 times in June. This could partly be due to the pessimism in May, and the subsequent covering of short positions. But things don't look too bright for Indian equities this June.
The HSBC Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for May declined for the third successive month to hit a 50-month low of 50.1, and the widely held view is that economic recovery could be slower than what was expected.
The rupee is under pressure, political uncertainty looks likely to persist, and there are questions about the continuation of US Federal Reserve’s loose monetary policy, which has been driving the rally in emerging market equities.
