<ul><li>Global stock markets, including India, have witnessed a bout of volatility in the run-up to US elections. Most analysts believe that short-term volatility is likely to remain, irrespective of the verdict, but a Biden victory may be favourable for India in the long run.</li><li>Abhimanyu Sofat, head of research at IIFL Securities, believes that Trump’s victory will simply lead to the continuation of the current stalemate in global trade.</li><li>Biden’s win may play out well for the IT sector compared to Trump, analysts at Angel Broking believe. </li></ul>Stock markets around the globe saw the worst October this year, given the resurgence of COVID cases worldwide. But one other reason for the caution was the US Presidential elections. Indian stock-market index, Sensex, has shed over 222 points in the past one week, and if we eliminate today’s trading gains, the loss goes above 772 points in a week.<br /><br />The race to the White House is a keenly tracked global event. While it may be challenging to anticipate the outcome this time around, the impact on Indian markets is likely to be positive, according to UBS. They believe that if Biden comes to power by winning both houses of Congress, India will benefit from “potentially more favourable US trade policies.”<br /><br /><strong>Why is the US Presidential election important for India? </strong><br /><br />Analysts believe that this time around, there is likely to be some delay around the verdict of US elections. Also, the possibility of it being contested in the Supreme Court will lead to volatility in the markets. “The US election is important for India not only economically but also strategically,” said Binod Modi, head of the strategy, Reliance Securities.<br /><br />Joseph Thomas, head of research at Emkay Wealth Management, said the markets in India might see heightened volatility in the run-up to the elections and immediately after that. “This volatility is the result of a perception that there could be drastic changes in the US policy depending upon who is going to win.” <br /><br />Jyoti Roy, equity strategist, Angel Broking, explained that a favourable outcome of the US elections results would result in a risk-on environment leading to strong foreign portfolio investment flows for India. Whereas, an adverse outcome of the US elections, on the other hand, will result in a global risk-off environment, which will lead to foreign institutional investors pulling out money from India and put pressure on the markets.<br /><br /><strong>How Biden’s victory may play out for India equities?<br /></strong><br />The sectors which may continue to benefit as far as India is concerned is technology, pharma and healthcare, insurance and the consumer sector. According to Modi from Reliance Securities, no matter the outcome of US elections, the relations with India would continue to remain good given recent geopolitical developments. However, the democratic party’s win in the election can result in higher fiscal stimulus and favourable immigration policies, which bodes well for emerging market equities, including India.<br /><br />Angel Broking’s Roy also said Biden’s victory would also be extremely positive for the IT sector as the restrictions placed on H1B visas by the Trump administration are likely to be reversed. And, “In such a scenario, we would also recommend HCL Technologies and Persistent systems as our top picks from the IT space in case of a Joe Biden victory.” <br /><br />Whereas Amit Jain, Chief Strategist - Global Asset Class, Ashika Group, said “If Biden wins then you may see the World be back to Pre-Trump era, where you will see much better trade relations within the World Economies. This may benefit all the sectors, as we may see much better harmony and trade relationships within the world economies.” <br /><br /><strong>What if Trump wins?<br /></strong><br />Abhimanyu Sofat, head of research at IIFL Securities, believes that Trump’s victory will simply lead to the continuation of the current stalemate in global trade. Hence, nothing major is expected pertaining to any specific sector.<br /><br />However, Angel Broking said, “Trump’s victory will be positive for cyclical sectors like Auto, Banking and small-ticket consumer durables.” In the Auto sector, they prefer two-wheeler stocks with Hero Motocorp and Endurance Technologies as their top picks. Cholamandalam Investments and IDFC First Bank are the top picks in the BFSI space, while Hawkins Cooker is the top pick consumer durable space, Roy added. <br /><br /><strong>SEE ALSO:<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/thelife/personalities/news/prajakta-koli-aka-mostlysane-advice-for-content-creators-on-the-fine-line-between-brand-collaborations-and-staying-honest-on-social-media/articleshow/79013162.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink"> Prajakta Koli aka MostlySane’s advice for content creators on the fine line between brand collaborations and staying honest on social media</a></strong><b><br /><br /> </b><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/international/news/india-hits-out-at-pakistan-for-taking-advantage-of-coronavirus-pandemic-to-enhance-cross-border-terrorism/articleshow/79013307.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink"><strong>India hits out at Pakistan for taking advantage of coronavirus pandemic to enhance cross-border terrorism</strong></a><br />

<p>However, U.S. <keyword id="31671" type="CITY" weightage="60" keywordseo="markets">markets</keyword> are opening strongly in the green.</p>
<p>This week is loaded with market-moving events. So, let's get right to it.</p>
<p><strong>Top Stories</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Over the weekend, reports surfaced that Haruhiki Kuroda would become the next governor of the Bank of Japan. Kuroda is known for being extremely dovish. With Kuroda at the helm, the Japanese yen is likely to continue to depreciate. This is what Prime Minister Shinzo Abe wants, as it would make Japanese goods cheaper to the country's export partners.</li>
<li>Italy just held its general election. According to exit polls, Pier Luigi Bersani is projected to be the big winner. This should bring some calm to the markets as Bersani is seen as the leader to offer continuity to Italian reforms that are seen as keeping the debt crisis at bay.</li>
<li>This week, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke will be in Washington D.C. on Tuesday and Wednesday giving his semi-annual Humphrey/Hawkins monetary policy testimony. Recent language out of the Federal Reserve has confused markets about their intentions for continuing easy monetary policy. Fed-watchers will be paying attention to Bernanke for more clarity.</li>
<li>Unless we get a miracle out of Washington, then the sequestration budget cuts will begin on March 1. These are the $85 billion worth of spending cuts that'll ripple across the U.S. government. Most agree that this is bad news for the economy. Some, like <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/ubs-explains-how-sequester-will-work-2013-2">UBS's Maury Harris</a>, believe that the negative impact has been greatly over-exaggerated.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Economic Calendar</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>This is a big week of U.S. housing data. On Tuesday, the Case-Shiller index is expected to show that home prices climbed by 0.8 percent in December. That same day, we're expected to learn that new homes are selling at a 381k annual rate in January, up from 369k in December. On Wednesday, we expect to learn that pending home sales climbed by 3.0 percent in January.</li>
<li>We'll also be getting two key reads on America's long-term investment activities. On Wednesday, we'll get the crucial durable goods orders report. Economists expect a 4.0 percent decline. And on Friday, we'll get U.S. auto sales stats. Economists estimate that cars sold at a healthy 12.1 million annualized rate.</li>
<li>Perhaps the most important report of the week will be the January personal income and spending report. Income is expected to fall by 2.1 percent, and spending is expected to rise by just 0.2 percent. This report will be particularly closely watched this month as it will show us just how much the new payroll tax hike may (or may not) have hit the U.S. consumer.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Market Update</strong></p>
<p>So, U.S. stocks continue to be right near their highest levels since late 2007. Some market strategists like <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/jpms-tom-lee-dont-buy-any-more-stocks-2013-2">JP Morgan's Tom Lee</a> believe that stocks are looking a bit stretched and that a correction is due. Others like <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/nouriel-roubini-turns-bullish-2013-2">NYU's Nouriel Roubini</a> believe that stocks will continue to go up as the world's central banks continue to employ extremely easy monetary policy.</p>
<p>"An equity correction may clarify a key issue: What’s been driving equities – loose monetary policy, or expectations of better macro and earnings?" say Morgan Stanley's Gerard Minack.</p>

THIS WEEK IN THE MARKETS: Italy, Bernanke, Sequestration, And More

<p>This week comes with more economic data that's sure to be touched by the unusually harsh winter. But we've been learning more and more that the slow down in economic activity has been about much more than chilly weather.</p>
<p>Here's your Monday Scouting Report:</p>
<p><strong>Top Stories</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">It's About More Than Weather (<a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/monday-scouting-report-feb-17-2014-2014-2">Part II</a>)</span>: Yes, weather seems to be behind much of the deterioration in the recent economic data. But that seems to be only a <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/what-is-causing-the-economic-slowdown-2014-2">little more than half of the story</a>.<br /><br />Economists at <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/goldman-on-the-weathers-economic-impact-2014-2">Goldman Sachs</a>, JP Morgan, and Bank of America Merrill Lynch all published research pointing to other sources of weakness, which included <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/what-is-causing-the-economic-slowdown-2014-2">expiring emergency unemployment benefits, lapsing capital expenditure tax credits</a>, and a giveback in the economic strength from the second half of 2013 (e.g. inventory accumulation and export growth).<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></li>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Inflation</span>:  Surprisingly <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/world-inflation-rates-2014-1">low inflation</a> has long been one of the more surprising economic stories in recent years. However, the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/time-to-look-at-inflation-2014-2">incoming data</a> seems to suggest that we should get ready for this story to change. Owners' equity in real estate continues to trend higher, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/health-care-cost-inflation-accelerating-2014-2">health care costs</a> seem to be picking up, and <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/long-term-unemployment-and-wage-growth-2014-2">labor market dynamics suggest wage growth</a> could heat up sooner than expected.<br /><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"></span></span></span></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Economic Calendar<br /></strong></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Dallas Fed Manufacturing Index (Mon)</span>: Economists estimate this regional activity index slipped to 3.0 from 3.8 a month ago.</li>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">S&amp;P/Case-Shiller Index (Tues)</span>: Economists estimate the home prices climbed 0.6% month-over-month in December, or 13.3% year-over-year. "In November, the S&amp;P/Case Shiller 20 City composite index reached a new cycle high at 13.75% YoY," noted Credit Suisse economists. "However, slower growth rates in November and December recorded in the Core Logic home price index suggest S&amp;P/Case Shiller prices stepped down in December. We expect a 0.8% MoM rise, which would leave the YoY rate at 13.6%."</li>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Consumer Confidence Index (Tues)</span>: Economists estimate the Conference Board's measure of sentiment slipped to 80.0 from 80.7 in January. "In February, Washington should not have posed a major concern to consumer confidence," said Bank of America Merrill Lynch economists. "The US House agreed to suspend the debt ceiling, and the FOMC emphasized the pursuit of status quo policy. The consumer, however, may pick up on the trend of weak data such as vehicle sales, payrolls, initial jobless claims, retail sales, and the NAHB index."</li>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Richmond Fed Manufacturing Index (Tues)</span>: Economists estimate this regional activity index fell to 3 from 12 in January.</li>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">New Home Sales (Wed)</span>: Economists estimate new home sales fell 3.4% to an annualized rate of 400,000 in January. "Mortgage applications for purchase have declined in four of the past five weeks and builder sentiment plunged to its lowest level since mid-2013," noted Wells Fargo's John Silvia. "Although the weakness was broad-based, current sales saw the steepest decline, plummeting 11 points to 51. Builders noted the drop was due to unusually severe weather conditions, but also cited a shortage in skilled labor and lots. Although weather conditions are expected to be a temporary drag on construction activity, rising construction costs, including a dearth of skilled workers could slow the pace of the housing market recovery."</li>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Durable Goods Orders (Thurs)</span>: Economists estimate 1.5% in January. Nondefense capital goods excluding aircraft (aka core capital goods) is estimated to have slipped by 0.2%. "What matter in this report are core capital goods data, since they feed into our GDP tracking model - core capital goods are nondefense capital goods excluding aircraft and are a good proxy for capex," <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/what-is-causing-the-economic-slowdown-2014-2">said Bank of America Merrill Lynch economists</a>. "We expect core capital goods shipments to pull back 1.0% mom as freezing weather slowed down business activity over the month and core orders declined in December. Core orders were likely weak for a second consecutive month in January, down 1.5%."</li>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Initial Jobless Claims (Thurs)</span>: Economists estimate initial claims slipped to 335,000 from 336,000 a week ago. "Initial jobless claims probably edged lower during the Presidents' Day holiday week," said Citi's Peter D'Antonio. "The weather was much fairer during the reference period, but holidays can result in aberrant swings in the data."</li>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Kansas City Fed Manufacturing Activity (Thurs)</span>: Economists estimate this regional activity index fell to 2 in February from 5 in January.</li>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Q4 GDP (Fri)</span>: Economists estimate Q4 GDP was revised down to 2.5% from 3.2%. "Substantial downward adjustments to core ex auto retail sales in November and  December, which recast the holiday shopping season as slow instead of strong, pointed to a downward revision to consumption to +2.8% from +3.3%," said Morgan Stanley's Ted Wieseman. "Lower results than BEA assumed for December international trade and wholesale inventories should lower the initially estimated +1.3pp net exports and +0.4pp inventories contributions by 0.2pp each."</li>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Chicago PMI (Fri)</span>: Economists estimate this regional PMI fell to 56.4 in February from 59.6 in January. "We anticipate a substantial drop-off in the Chicago business barometer in February," said Citi's D'Antonio. "The Chicago area is accustomed to nasty winter conditions, so we normally wouldn't look for weather effects in a manufacturing index from that region. However, the region's activity would be affected by a pullback in demand for its products due to weather. In this case, the relative importance of autos means that the dramatic weather-related reduction in vehicle sales in recent months (and the corresponding overstocked lots and reduced orders) could impact this measure of activity."</li>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Univ. of Michigan Confidence (Fri)</span>: Economists estimate the final reading of this sentiment measure came in at 81.2. "On one hand, higher utilities bills during the winter season could cut into discretionary income and weigh on the index," said Nomura economists. "On the other hand, households have been more optimistic about the labor market and their finances."</li>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Pending Home Sales (Fri)</span>: Economists estimate sales increased 1.5% in January. But some are forecasting a decline. "We look for pending home sales, which track signed contracts on single-family homes, condos, and co-ops, to fall 5% m/m in January," said Barclays economists. "One factor in our forecast is MBA applications for purchase, which rose 4.4% on the month after declining 6.1% in December. Buyer traffic in the NAHB home index, however, fell to 40 in January, perhaps driven by adverse weather, and is suggestive of less momentum."</li>

<p><strong>Market Commentary</strong></p>
<p>Last weak, Facebook announced it would acquire text-messaging app WhatsApp for a whopping $19 billion. This was a major-headscratcher for investment analysts trying to justify the price.</p>
<p>Legendary <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/aswath-damodaran-paragraph-on-markets-2014-2">NYU finance professor Aswath Damodaran</a> saw the deal as an opportunity to share some wisdom on the workings of financial markets:</p>
<p>"<span>My experience with markets has been that no one has a monopoly on virtue and good sense and that the hubris that leads to absolute conviction is an invitation for a market take-down. To investors [who] view deals like the WhatsApp acquisition as evidence of irrational exuberance, remember that there are traders who are laughing their way to the bank, with the profits that they have collected from their social media investments. Similarly, for traders who view fundamentals and valuation as games played by eggheads and academics, recognize that mood and momentum may be the dominant factors driving social media companies right now, but markets are fickle and fundamentals will matter (sooner or later)."</span></p>
