In June 2022, the Nifty fell by -4.85%. This comes on top of -3.03% in May 2022 and -2.07% fall in April 2022. June 2022 also marked the fourth consecutive month that the Nifty gave negative returns. The pressure was also visible in the smaller indices. In June 2022, the mid-cap index fell by -6.24% while the small cap index fell by -8.29%, as smaller stocks saw their vulnerability exposed in a highly volatile market.
FPI selling continued relentlessly in June 2022 with FPIs selling of $6.43 billion on top of $5.86 billion selling in equities in the month of May 2022. The selling got amplified after the RBI went aggressive on rate hikes. During the latter part of the month, the market did attempt a bounce from lower levels, but the weakness in the Indian rupee, which cracked beyond the 79/$ mark, only worsened the scenario for the equity markets.
During June 2022, the 10 year bond yields started around the 7.4% mark but shot up to a high of 7.62% before scaling back to the range of 7.3% to 7.4%. In the last 2 months, the bond yields had shot up from 6.8% to 7.4% with negative impact on bond values. However, in June, the impact on the bond values have been largely stable, as yields topped out on hopes that the RBI and the Fed may go slow on rate hikes to prevent an outright recession.

In June 2022, like in the previous couple of months, the equity fund returns over a 1-year period were negatively impacted across large caps, mid-caps and small caps. The impact was more intense in mid cap and the small cap funds where short term returns fell steeply. There were several reasons for the same, but volatility in oil prices and the currency rates did most of the damage for the smaller funds.
The geopolitical risk and the inflation risk were seen abating during the month of June 2022. However, FPI risk-off outflows and rupee weakness were the big challenges amidst central bank hawkishness. The good news is that the equity and debt fund rankings have largely maintained consistency of top performers across categories. This makes the rankings a reliable barometer and decision point for investors.
On the debt funds front, unlike in previous months, the bond yields were relatively more stable. Hence, the impact on short end funds was negligible and on the longer end funds was minimal. We have a scenario where bond yields are going up and it remains to be seen if investors will once again show a preference for debt funds over equity funds. That still remains an open-ended question.
