The impact of government's crucial initiatives like demonetisation and GST are fading and the positive impact of these structural measures are likely visible in FY19. Expect around 15-20 percent growth in Sensex EPS in FY19.
After phenomenal returns in 2017, the Nifty is expected to rally around 15 percent and hit year-end target of 12,000, Sumeet Bagadia, Associate Director at Choice Broking said.

"ICE Brent crude oil has given a symmetrical channel breakout in December 2017 and expected to witness a strong rally in the first half of 2018. On the higher end price may reach towards USD 77 to USD 85 in 2018.
2017 has been remained spectacular year for the investors with key benchmark Sensex and Nifty giving around 29 percent return, while broader market did even better.
Though the overall return may not be that great in year 2018, we expect positive return in equity mainly on the back of earning improvement. We expect around 15 percent return in equity and our Nifty year-end target is 12,000.
Macro-economic stability plays a crucial role for sustaining or increasing the benchmark indices' level. Due to the high crude oil prices and reviving commodity prices on global front, upside risks for inflation has increased and low tax collection due to implementation of GST has forced the government to enhance borrowing by Rs 50,000 crore in FY18 which in turn has raised the yield level in economy.
Thereby, inflation, interest rate and fiscal deficit are the crucial macro-economic indicators which can inject significant bearings on investors’ sentiments.
On domestic front include 1) momentum in earning growth 2) progress on GST implementation front 3) any initiative to take petrol and diesel under GST ambit and 4) assembly election in 8 states.
Global front include 1) US relationship with North Korea and 2) emerging political risk in middle-east countries

While a record number of firms made their IPO debut in 2017, many key players plan to enter the primary market this year and raise funds for their expansion and growth like Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL), NSE, Aster DM Healthcare, Bharat Serum and Vaccines among others. Thus, we are of the view that primary market activity to remain sanguine in 2018.
The impact of government's crucial initiatives like demonetisation and GST are fading and the positive impact of these structural measures are likely visible in FY19. We expect around 15-20 percent growth in Sensex EPS in FY19.
Current government has created its credibility on the back of its structural reform for reviving the economy. Thus it would be highly unlikely that Budget 2018 will a populist one, however it would be not so reformist especially after the Gujarat state election result. It would be mix of both.
Rural people would be disappointed from the current government due to these three factors

2) Rising cooking gas and kerosene prices

Crude Oil: ICE Brent Crude has ended the year at USD 66.87, up 44 percent from the June low of USD 46.38. The OPEC and Non-OPEC production cut coupled with improving global demand was main reason behind the rally in crude oil price.
However, rising US Crude production has acted the limiting factor throughout the previous year. US crude production hit a 46-year high in October according to an EIA data (monthly). On the other hand, US crude Oil export also rose during the previous year.
Going into the New Year, continuation of production cut by OPEC and Russia to act as support to any fall in crude oil price. In addition, global demand led by China (one of the largest importer of crude oil) is expected to remain strong. Technically, ICE Brent crude oil has given a symmetrical channel breakout in December 2017 and expected to witness a strong rally in the first half of 2018.

Base Metals: The year 2017 had been good for base metals as the base metal pack added 23-34 percent over the last year; led by aluminium (USD 2,268, up 34 percent) and copper (USD 7,247, up 31 percent). The industrial metal copper, often seen as the barometer of global economic condition witnessed the biggest yearly gain in 2017 after 2010. The rising demand backed by strong global data pushed metal prices higher.
Going forward the improved demand coupled with supply disruption in China is going to support the rising copper price. Moreover, technological changes like growth of Electric Vehicles (EVs) will boost the demand for base metals like aluminium (used for car body, minor use in battery), copper (used in winding and rotor) and nickel (used in battery). Technically, all these base metals are trading above the initial reversal ratio (38.20 percent) which suggests further rally in the days to come.
