Page three - Indian equities (September 27)

Ken_Dyks

However, it is possible that the Nifty has topped out in the short-term. It was down 2% last week, on increased macro and corporate concerns. The biggest worry is the economy’s recent under performance as companies and individuals try to adjust to the dual policies of demonetization and the introduction of the GST tax.

The recent bout of USD strength certainly hasn't help this equity weakness. Time to look in some profits. Hard to see significant EM strength between now and year end if US yields are going to continue to rise at the margin

A quick thought on UK politics. No reason to own the pound.

My structural bearishness towards the pound has been problematic in 2017 due to: 1) Weakness in the USD, 2) a more hawkish Bank of England and 3) a more conciliatory tone by Theresa May towards Brexit negotiations. Boris Johnson's ambitions are about to change all this.
