Every now and then the market goes through phases, where it prefers a certain set of stocks, not based on sector but based on the overall market cap. So, sometimes it is large caps, at other mid-caps. Now this partially happens, due to the flows which are coming to markets. For example, if more flows are coming to mid-cap or multicap schemes there is bound to be out performance in the mid-cap space. Now what it does is that it tends to create a sudden surge in mid-cap. Similarly when there is an outflow like the kind of one which we saw in March this year, midcap stocks tend to decline sharply. Essentially, it is the flows which impact the broader matrix of how midcaps behave. So there are phases not owning a midcap stocks appeared to sin and then there phase, where owning them appears to be sin. But if one focuses on the underlying business and some critical parameters, there is a possibility of getting rid of these phases of anxiety which keep coming to the street and create long term wealth.

Annual Secretarial Compliance for the FY 2023-24.

After the IT sector companies, metal is another sector where the fortunes of Indian companies are more tied to what is happening globally rather than what is happening in India. The reason, global metal prices are decided by two things, first is the state of the Chinese economy and second is how the US dollar behaves in the global markets. On the first, there are initial indications that after close to more than two years, things are turning better. The most reliable indication came last month with better than expected GDP numbers. On the second front, there is still lots of uncertainty thanks to flip-flops by the US Fed on interest rate cuts. Now if one looks at the metal stocks, they have sort of out performed volatile Indian markets. But given the fact that these days, too much money flows into stocks where there is even a slight bit of positive development, the possibility that these stocks may turn volatile if there was more pressure on the broader market. However, when the tide turns, because the operating matrix of the companies would be better if the China recovery continues, there is a high probability of them turning into relative outperformers.
