Pharmaceuticals will be the contrarian sector of this year. It has underperformed over the last couple of years, and I believe it is very under-owned. You hardly see any of the pharma stocks in any portfolio. Some funds have some Cipla here or there, some funds have some midcap pharma stocks like Divi’s etc, but on the larger cap side, it is very-very under-owned. Sun Pharma we own from much lower, and I am still positively inclined because of the kind of performance it has given over the last few quarters.

JUST IN: India’s WPI inflation eases to 13.56% in December from 14.23% in November

We are seeing a pullback after a vertical rally on the back of some weakness in global markets however there are no such negative cues for the market. If we look at the statistics then Indian Equity markets do well in the first two weeks of January but then it starts to correct near to Makar Sankranti or in between 15-20th January. Then there is a post-budget rally in the market. This trend may be replicated this year as well but the overall view is bullish and any pullback will be a good buying opportunity. Technically, 18000 is an immediate psychological support level while 17800/17650 are critical support levels.

Inflation is turning out to be a major worry for markets this year. December PPI inflation in the US has spiked to a record 9.7%. Inflation in the Euro Zone is already at record highs. If inflationary expectations get entrenched, the Fed will have to act early, perhaps in March itself. ECB too is likely to follow suit. Even though such an emerging scenario is unfavorable for equity, markets may not react negatively since the high negative real return from fixed income makes returns from equity attractive. Since retail investors are now a force to reckon with, whether in the US or India, their response to market corrections on rate hike expectations will be crucial. FIIs again moving to sell mode ( Rs 1391 cr selling yesterday) may act as temporary headwind for some large private banking stocks in which FIIs have large holdings. This can turn out to be a buying opportunity for long-term investors.
