11:00 am Market Outlook: Sunil Singhania, CIO-Equity, Investment at Reliance Mutual Fund feels this is a good time for the mutual fund industry. Growth in mutual fund industry will be healthy & robust, he believes.

Investors have started diversifying to financial assets from physical assets, he said.

Majority of analysts feel the markets are currently highly valued, especially after a 18 percent rally since the beginning of 2017. Earnings have to recover and economic growth has to be over 7 percent in current financial year (given expectations of normal monsoon) to match current market valuations, according to them.

According to Singhania, the markets are never fairly valued, whether it’s undervalued or mildly overvalued.

"We have had corrections in recent past but it hasn't been that long. Inflows from retail investors in mutual fund will continue despite market correction," he said.

He is seeing euphoria in some sectors of the market.

9:46 am Listing: After stellar response to the issue, AU Small Finance Bank is all set to make a debut on exchanges on July 10. The issue price is fixed at higher end of price band of Rs 355-358.

Experts feel the stock price is expected to open over Rs 400, given the overwhelming response to the public issue and indication from the grey market premium that is around Rs 75-80.

The initial public offer of AU Small Finance Bank, which was opened during June 28-30, was oversubscribed 53.60 times on strong response from QIBs and HNIs.

9:28 am GST impact: Neelkanth Mishra of Credit Suisse said GST introduced uncertainty on several fiscal fronts. Taxes subsumed under GST were to contribute nearly Rs 10.6 lakh crore in FY18 (36 percent of India's total taxes), he added.

With some assumptions, he estimates centre-state split at 45-55.

Even adjusted for the compensation pool, a 50-50 CGST-SGST split may distort tax sharing, according to him.

As compensation payments will be made to the states every two months and on a fixed growth assumption, most of the volatility, if any, would be faced by the centre, he feels.

General government spending, yields and spreads could thus see some volatility, according to Mishra.
