Japan Trembles, World Stable…
Stock impacts
Positive – Tyre Companies, Tata Motors, Suzlon, RIL, Essar oil
Negative – Maruti, Areva T&D and APIL
Past few weeks number of factors have disturbed the sentiments of the investors leading to the
volatility in the markets. Not only domestic but the overall global sentiments have also been very
mixed. Japan earthquake and Tsunami, again has may be for the short term added to the woes.
This event has directly indirectly hit various segments, especially commodities like oil as refineries
are shut, ports are closed, power shortages, natural gas prices have risen, metals impacted and
nuclear plant meltdown.
Japan earthquake and Tsunami has caused lot of destruction and devastation and the immediate
impact has been that most of the global markets including our markets had a knee jerk reaction
which corrected immediately but then recovered after. To quantify the destruction will take time
and we need to wait and watch as the outlook still seems to be unclear on that front.
Tough the first cut analyses suggest that…
Yen which strengthened to 16years on expectation of higher repatriation of local currency to rebuild
the country, as the money may flow in Japan in terms of aids and rebuilding of the destructed
infrastructure. This Japanese crisis can revive yen carry trade also. Japan may take much longer
time to recover compared with 1995 Kobe earthquake.
Particularly the companies who major importers of Japan will have a major impact like on stock
specific front Strong Yen is Negative for MARUTI while TATAMOTORS could benefit as many Japan
car manufacturer would take time to restart the operation. Stocks like AREVAT&D and APIL which
deals nuclear plant could face selling as sentiment dampens for Nuclear energy, on the other hand
Suzlon may be positive as alternative energy could gain importance. RELIANCE & ESSAROIL
benefit from high Diesel needs from Japan to resume Power supply as few refineries have been
shutdown which would improve GRM.
Rubber prices have also tumbled on trade suspensions especially for the car makers on raising
concerns on demand slump so Indian rubber companies like Apollo Tyres, CEAT, JK Tyres should
benefit.
The Japan economy may take longer for recovery but the impact on India would be minimum as
only ~2% of India’s total exports are from Japan. These natural disasters are temporary set backs
for the equity and the countries therefore any correction in these kind of markets one should
accumulate slowly for long term investments.
