Today, when the whole market is down, there is one sector which is leading the recovery, metals. Both ferrous and non ferrous. Partially because of the fact that Russian metal has been sort of ousted from the markets with the US and UK taking measures to keep it out of exchanges. Also because there are enough indications from China that demand might be getting stronger. Now there is an inverse relationship between the rising price of metal and margins of the many user industries. So when there is an expectation that metal prices are going to rise, there is bound to be a negative reaction in some of the sectors and industries. As an investor one needs to realize that the user industry, where there is higher “value addition” to the metal and there is a strong “brand”. The impact on margins is much lower. Infact when these stocks react to the narrative which might hit the street sooner than later, it is probably the time to have a look at them with a long term perspective.

When it comes to volatility, there are four things that one needs to take into account. First, the magnitude of volatility, frequency of volatile movement, sectors that are leading it, and overall market breadth during a volatile phase. If one takes all of these into account, the nifty has been able to inch upward but the fact that market breadth is still not clear is the hurdle rate. There is a high probability that we might see more of it in the coming weeks. So, it would be better to stay prepared for volatility. One of the ways for that would be to stay with large caps, this does not mean they will not face the heat, but over the medium to long term they would be the first ones to bounce back and if one looks at what has happened in last two trading session, it is the largecap which is leading the rally. So, in times of volatility which has come due to valuation readjustment, it would be better to stick with large caps and that too companies where there are some tailwinds of either policy or restructuring of the company.
