The economy continues to look down cast with various indicators coming out looking decidedly bearish. The IIP numbers, Purchasing Managers Index, Inflation, GDP number etc., leave much to be desired.
In the sea of misery, there is one redeeming ark the trade deficit has narrowed sharply, which is possibly the only good news. Another one the monsoon has been good and is expected to boost the rural incomes.
Stock markets have been buffeted by the falling rupee & the exit of money by FIIs. Equity markets have been affected & how! Among this, the mid and small cap stocks have seen massive erosions, some of them as high as 95%!!!
Consequently, mutual funds have also had their rough patch. They have fallen less due to diversification & fund manager actions, that inherently is one of the strong suits of MF schemes.
