Closing view: Market catching up to reality of tight monetary policy

Market is catching up to the reality that tight monetary policy is the lone card on the table lingering on high inflation.

As a result, the global economy is bound to slow down further impacting corporate earnings, as indicated by MoM fall in US retail sales.

Valuations continue to trade on the marginally upper side of long-term averages and FIIs continue the selling mode.

The stocks trading at high valuations & sectors like IT & Metals are the most impacted firms.

In such a situation, preservation of capital is the theme by investing in a balanced portfolio of equity, debt & cash.

In equities, safe sectors will be those that are least impacted by inflation & aggressive policy like Finance & Services. Defensives like Consumption, IT, Pharma & Telecom can also be considered on a long-term basis.
