The Rally Returns

Last couples of days were about forced selling, which actually let my confidence shattered that whether I am on the wrong side of the trade but GDP data from US have more than put my confidence back on track. I still continue to believe that all emerging markets (including our own Indian market) Indian markets will continue to move on news coming out of developed market especially US. And what more evidence than the selloff in all the emerging markets (more evident from a drop in MSCI) on the back of pullback in developed market, mainly United States. US stocks rallied as the GDP grew the fastest (3.5%) in last two years against a drop of 0.74 and 6.43% in two previous quarters. GDP growth was mainly fueled by consumer spending, which actually shows off in GDP numbers. The U.S. economy returned to growth in the third quarter after a yearlong contraction as government incentives spurred consumers to spend more on homes and cars. The turnaround in residential investment, which added to GDP for the first time since 2005, was also a bright spot, although it remains to be seen how much of that improvement was linked to government efforts to prop up the housing market.

The best part of this GDP data is not the ones which grew mainly on the back of support from govt., but areas such as Non-Durable Goods, Services, Commercial Real Estate, Equipment & Support and decrease in private businesses inventories. The growth in these areas lets one believe that the consumers spending is visible (though slowly).
