The year '07 had begun on an optimistic note with equity market indices scaling higher. Positive sentiment soon got better on good Q3-FY07 results declared by the index heavy weights. The international money flow also remained positive as the demand continue to be robust in the economy which is indicated by firm prices of manufactured goods and capacity additions by the industries to meet the rising demand. The Sensex closed at 14091 for January '07 with positive undertone. The RBI in its 3rd quarter monetary policy review refrained from changing the reverse repo rate though it increased the repo rate by 25 bps to 7.5%. Also RBI increased the provision requirements by Banks for retail loan category including the real estate related loans and credit card. The intentions of central bank were clear as the aforementioned action is meant to direct the banks to control the quality credit growth without affecting the loan demand by coporates. But the concern still is the rising inflation rate which is at around +6.00% levels. Such levels could warrant further actions by RBI to tighten the liquidity position in the economy and also certain fiscal measures by the central government like the import duty cuts. Last month GoI reduced the import duty on certain items like cement and manufactured items to stem the price rise. The act was read by the market as a signal by the government to tackle the general price levels in the economy though not affecting the demand which is more a function of liquidity levels which in turn is affected by the monetary policy actions by the RBI. One positive development was the revision of GDP forecast for FY07 from 8-8.5% to 8.5 - 9.05% by RBI on the back of strong IIP numbers announced for the month of November '06 (a growth of 14.6%) which actually reflects the underlying bullish tone in the economy. The impressive coporate results for Q3 - FY07 and positive guidance for the next quarter supported the continuity of bull-run in the equity markets. The average profit growth for select companies, that have declared their quarterly results, is about 46%, which is above the expectations of the market participants. The figures boosted the confidence and money inflow from domestic as well as foreign participants was witnessed. Though the expected earnings for FY07 have more or less been discounted in the current valuations, the possibility of positive surprises by India Inc. cannot be ruled out. Yet there remains a slight concern on the liquidity position in the economy which gets affected to an extent by the international developments. The US economy is expected to experience modest growth for CY07 which could affect the earnings of export based economies which in turn could affect the movement of international money flow. Also as the Japanese economy is experiencing the rebound the speculation remains high for Bank of Japan to raise the interest rate in its next meet. The implication of these international developments in relation to Indian equity markets could have a direct bearing on the FII inflows. But as the demand in the economy remains robust the earnings of the India Inc. may not be affected materially. The month of February '07 could see the equity markets moving in anticipation of expectations from the forthcoming union budget. Though any major change in the current fiscal policies is not expected, announcements affecting certain industries, like the recent import duty cut cannot be ruled out. The markets could thus exhibit periods of volatility and show range bound behaviour not shadowing the posssibilty of another positive move. The month of January which started on a positive note could not hold on to the gains. The government bond market remained bearish for most part of the month largely due to the selling induced by the Government decision to allow Reserve Bank of India to decide on SLR requirements of the banks. The G-Sec market opened on a strong note with the yields falling down across the curve. The ten year yield opened lower at 7.54% against a previous month's close of 7.62%. The market which had already discounted the second round of CRR hike of 25 bps from Jan 6th turned positive on account of reduction in the size of govt bond auction by Rs.5000 crore and the inflows of the Special Deposit Scheme (SDS) interest payments of Rs.10,000 crore. The yields further came down to touch a low of 7.48%. The yield curve which had flattened in the previous months witnessed selling in the long end of the curve. The difference in the yields of 10 year and 30 year government bond widened from the range of 18-20 bps to 35-40 bps during mid-month before closing the month at 25-30 bps. The yield remained range bound during the middle of the month before rising substantially to the levels of 7.91%. This was mainly on account of the knee-jerk reaction to the news of the Government to allow RBI the flexibility to decide on SLR requirement of Banks. The value buying resulted in the yield recovering to 7.81% and settle in the range of 7.85-7.90%. Subsequent to the RBI's credit policy, with no change in SLR requirement, the market bounced back with the ten-year closing the month at 7.73%. The liquidity in the system improved significantly as compared to the previous month mainly due to interest payments and government spending in the last week of December. The overnight call rates which were in the range of 11-11.5% gradually came down to 6.50-6.75% in the first week of January. However, due to the increased CRR requirement of the bank, the market was seen borrowing through the RBI repo window as against higher reverse repo figures in the first week. The infusion of liquidity by RBI for the week ended 27th Jan was Rs.12,149 crore. The overnight call rates also gradually moved up to cross 8% levels and remained in that range. The WPI inflation numbers continue to draw the market attention as it remained higher than the RBI comfort range of 5.00-5.50%. The inflation numbers which remained within the comfort zone in the month of December crossed psychological mark of 6% for the week ended 6th January and rose to 6.12%. The WPI inflation for the week ended 20th Jan stood at 6.11% against 5.95% for the previous week. The y-o-y bank credit rose by 29.7% (Rs.9012 crore) for the fortnight ending 19th January. The strong credit growth was evident in the credit-deposit ratio which stayed firm at 73.91% against 73.79% in the month of December. The month of January saw yields in the corporate bond market, harden by 40-50 bps. The effect of the easy liquidity in the beginning of the month saw some softening of yields in the short term papers. However, due to lack of buying interest at lower levels and the overnight rates gradually moving upwards, the yields moved higher. The yield on 1year corporate paper is currently in the range of 9.75-9.85%. The feature of the month was the RBI's 3rd quarter monetary policy review. The rise of 25 bps in benchmark repo rate to 7.50% is aimed to rein in the high level of credit- deposit ratio by making the money costlier and thereby slowing down the credit growth and inflationary expectations. The GDP growth forecast for the financial year 2007 has been revised upwards to 8.5-9.00% from the previous estimate of 8%. The inflation target stood unchanged at 5.00-5.50%. The RBI emphasized on the concerns over the credit quality, growth in retail credit of the banks and elevated inflationary pressures. The liquidity is expected to remain tight in the remaining part of this financial year with a view to slow down the credit growth and curb inflationary pressures. However, the government securities market is expected to find support at the current levels in view of the increased investment requirement and relatively lesser supply by way of fresh issuances. The bullish momentum will be further supported by the increased deposit mobilization in the last quarter of the financial year and a slow down in credit growth. We expect the yield on ten-year government bond to trade in the range of 7.65-7.85%. www.saharamutual.com MARKET RETURNS Sensex Nifty CNX Midcap 10 Yr G-Sec Yld Range January 2007 1.07% 1.88% 2.02% 7.48% - 7.92% 1 Year 42.05% 36.04% 22.55% 7.28% - 8.40% Market Speaks .....

The month of January which started on a positive note could not hold on to the gains. The government bond market remained bearish for most part of the month largelydue to the selling induced by the Government decision to allow Reserve Bank of India to decide on SLR requirements of the banks.

Return on Equity (RoE) is a combination of profit margin, asset management and
financial leverage. Breaking return on equity into these component parts not only
allows the investor to determine what kind of return is being generated by a
company, but also to examine the quality of that return as well as the amount of
financial risk the company is taking to create it. The Return on Equity trend over
the years tells investors how effectively their capital is being reinvested. Thus, it
serves as a far better gauge of management's fiscal adeptness than the annual
earnings per share. Sahara Wealth Plus fund is the only fund in the Indian Mutual
Fund industry where stock selection for creation and management of a portfolio
wealth is based on Return on Equity (RoE) as the main theme.
