Market in 2022

Year 2022 was a volatile period for the Indian stock market with lots of global uncertainties with Ukraine-Russia war, Fed rate hikes, inflation and recession projections. The Indian market showed standout performance; NSE Nifty 50 index was up by 5.7% in the year, compared to the major global index average slump of 14%. Both key indices, Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex clocked their all-time high levels in December. Across sectors PSU banks have shown spectacular returns of 72%; Private banks, Metals, FMCG and Automobiles were some other sectors in the growing trajectory and were able to derive strong returns of 23%, 23.4%, 20% and 16.5% respectively. Worst sectors of the year were IT, Consumer durables, Pharma, Reality and Media.

The interest rate hikes by the RBI from 4.40% in May 2022 to 6.25% in December had impacted the market negatively. Another key trend for the sluggish market was soaring inflation; however the inflation rate dipped below the RBI’s tolerance level of 6% in November at 5.88% and offered some respite to the market.

Outlook for 2023

Going forward, we feel in 2023, market would not experience any significant downtrend but it might show slight turbulence because of the ongoing recession fear and high inflation. Sectors which could favor would be Banking and Financial services, Insurance, Infrastructure & allied sectors and Defence.

The domestic demand among sectors remains strong; being one of the youngest country in the world with median age of 28.7 years, domestic consumption among retail and IT would be resilient. Rising employment rate would be another driver for this demand. Banking sector would be major contributor in the upward direction for the market; rising interest rates and the gap between deposit and credit growth would aid the growth in BFSI. Infrastructure sector is also attributed to grow next year backed by several infrastructure projects in pipeline. Automobiles would sustain the growth momentum in 2023 due to rising EV adoption and new SUV launches. Reality sector is making a comeback after almost a decade and appears positive with the rising demand in the residential as well as commercial segments. Various PLI schemes catering to the automobile, defence, pharmaceuticals, textile & food sectors would support the long term growth of the Indian Economy.

In 2023, we can witness pressure on the highly leveraged companies due to the rising cost of borrowings hence we are expecting a balanced return from the markets. The long term investors should look any significant dip as an opportunity for the long term investment. India looks in a sweet spot but turbulence in between will continue and Investor should make full use of those dips.
