GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS DURING THE FINANCIAL YEAR 2021-22:

The year 2020 will be recalled in the years to come with memories of Shock & Awe. In the first month of the Financial Year, namely April 2020, the world received an unprecedented Shock with Covid19 becoming a global pandemic, the lockdown of all activities to "Flatten the Curve" and to protect the people from the spread of the virus brought about unprecedented fall in activities. Millions faced unsurmountable personal challenges and a large number lost loved ones. For all those of us who were saved from the wrath of the pandemic have been fortunate and have to thank the almighty for his/her support and strength.

The developed nations left with no other recourse have flooded the world with currency to support their markets and their citizens. The COVID pandemic has added $24 trillion to the global debt mountain over the last year a new study has shown, leaving it at a record $281 trillion and the worldwide debt-to-GDP ratio at over 355%. The Institute of International Finances (IIF) global debt monitor estimated government support programmes had accounted for half of the rise, while global firms, banks and households added $5.4 trillion, $ 3.9 trillion and $2.6 trillion respectively.

One of the biggest threats to the present strong global equity markets is rising inflation. When it comes to inflation, the alarm bells are ringing louder with the commodity markets shattering records and governments continuing to pile on stimuli. Expectations of price pressures are apparent in the commodity markets, with iron ore, copper, aluminium and other metals either soaring or nearing record levels. The rise in commodity prices suggests that there could be some policy change sooner than later. The U.S. Federal Reserve may have to hike rates to stave off inflation, thereafter central banks globally may have to do the same.

Indian Economy

CRISIL Ltd. research states that Indias GDP growth will rebound to 11% in fiscal 2022, after an 8% contraction this fiscal. In nominal terms, the size of the economy next fiscal may be 2% larger than what it was in fiscal 2020. Perhaps the biggest concern is that the turnaround has to be more broad-based to bring back at least 14 millionjobs estimated by the Centre for Monitoring of the Indian Economy to have been lost. As we all know the pandemic has hit the services sector harder than manufacturing. Within services, the sharpest decline was in trade, hotels, transport, and communication services, which account for roughly 16% of employment.

Small businesses, which make up more than a quarter of Indias GDP and over 40% of manufacturing output, are key to a broad-based recovery. They are the "missing middle". The pandemic caused revenues of smaller firms to plunge sharper than larger firms, the main reason for job losses.

The second wave of Covid remains a big risk given that demand and animal spirits rise with hope and normalcy in everyday life.
