Inflation: ETMarkets Investors’ Guide: How will rising inflation impact domestic markets?

Welcome to ETMarkets Investors’ Guide, a show about asset classes, market trends and investment opportunities. This is Atul P. M.

The sharp selloff in stocks at the end of the week made investors jittery over the market outlook. On one hand, there have not been many positive surprises in the earnings season so far. On the other, there are concerns over valuations, especially amid huge foreign outflows and after a handful of brokerages slashed India equity rating. Rising inflationary pressure is another concern for investors.

ETMarkets.com interacted with Chandraprakash Padiyar, Senior Fund Manager at Tata Mutual Fund to know how these factors may play out in the market going ahead. Further, we quizzed him about how investors should approach loss-making IPOs from the digital space that may hit the primary market in the coming days and a possible impact of Fed taper on Indian equities. Listen in!

Welcome to the show, sir.

Q. Inflation impact is clearly visible on earnings of a few companies. Some of them even have raised alarm over it in their quarterly commentaries. What does it hit for the market as a whole?

Q. A couple of foreign brokerages recently downgraded India rating, citing expensive valuations. How should one be picking stocks in this market?

Q. Digital is one space from where we are seeing many IPOs coming to the market of late. On what parameters should one value such digital companies?

Q. Fed taper is almost here. How will it impact domestic equities?
