The Indian equity market was under pressure in June due to rising crude oil prices, weakening INR against USD, rising inflation, fear of subsequent interest rate hikes by the RBI, US Fed rate hikes, change in ECB’s stance, and especially the fear of a trade war, which has dampened the market sentiment more than anything else.
Besides this, state elections in MP, Rajasthan, and Jharkhand over December 2018 – January 2019, and the general elections in 2019 have made investors cautious on equities.
Possibly owing to these factors, among other things, the inflows in equity mutual funds also slowed in June 2018. Net inflows into equity schemes (excluding Arbitrage Funds) declined 15.8% to Rs8,764cr against Rs10,444cr in May 2018, according to data released by the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI). However, overall mutual funds received Rs46,475cr in June 2018 compared to an outflow of Rs50,000cr in May 2018.
Since the market is trading at slightly premium valuations amidst the above-mentioned events, investors should focus on longevity to create wealth. We advise investors to stay invested in those stocks whose growth story is still intact.
Fund managers have also realigned their portfolio to address the current volatility in the market. Below are top 20 stocks bought and sold by mutual funds in June 2018.
