Commenting on the corporate survey done by them across markets, he says they have seen deterioration in corporate sentiment across India in general. McDonnell remains skeptical of the cement sector since its growth is tied to that of infrastructure. He likes auto space because of its robust order outlook.
He also expects 25-50 basis rate cut from RBI in the July policy.
Below is the verbatim transcript of his interview on CNBC-TV18
Q: Because of the events of the last couple of weeks, that is what the Fed had to say and the kind of jobs data we got from the US have you changed your calls significantly on emerging markets (EM) like India?
A: No, we have not made any radical change in terms of our overweight recommendation for the Indian equity market. Certainly we have been surprised at the overwhelming nature of the selling during June, but the main change that our teams have made is that they have brought forth their expectations for tapering by the Fed to September.
They have also nudged up their interest rate forecasts, their 10-year bond yield numbers by about 50 bps across the board. Those higher 10-year notes will not have a direct effect on India. India specifically, we do look for another 25-50 bps cut from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
Q: You have done a corporate survey across markets as well. Did India standout in good light in terms of growth prospects at the end of that survey?
A: India did standout, regrettably though for negative reasons. Our diffusion index fell to about 46 indicating that India is seeing quite a sharp deterioration in corporate sentiment. The number of areas where we saw weakness centered on new orders, also the outlook for business growth. Although on a positive note we did see that the corporates were not as anxious about the outlook for costs, but in general we have seen a bit of a deterioration in corporate sentiment across our survey in India.
Q: While some of these trends have been visible for industrials as a segment what did you observe for some of these consumption driven sectors, things like Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), autos, cement. What happened when you touched base with those kind of companies?
A: For the cement companies they are tied up with the outlook for infrastructure and they are continuing to see a challenging growth we would say. On the consumer space though, the outlook is a bit more constructive, particularly in auto space. I think from an analyst's point of view we are bottom-up, quite constructive towards autos and for those auto corporates that responded to our survey they are fairly upbeat in terms of the outlook for orders. Again they are seeing slight easing in terms of the cost pressures and they are upbeat in terms of their future business prospects.
