     OUTLOOK

Q2 FY22 corporate earnings result ended on a strong note and RBI maintained its stance as accommodative and kept the policy rate unchanged in its bi-monthly policy.

Aggregate profit of S&P BSE 200 companies touched higher than the previous peak of Mar’21 quarter.

Going forward, factors which would largely drive the market could be the macroeconomic data and the upcoming state elections on domestic side, while on the global term it would be the decision of central banks as well as the highly mutated Omicron variant of Covid-19 which could change the course of the pandemic.

Key sectors where earnings are forecasted to show strength/sustain in the near term could be the Banks, Automobiles, Telecom and Oil & Gas. Hopefully, the earnings estimate for FY22 and 23 could maintain the path of surprise, as has been the case till now.”
