2.    Technical Indicators

 

The Index is currently trading below is 200-day EMA. Although settlement above its 50-day EMA above 1160 level the index was unable to breach 1190/1200 level. Minor correction at this stage is likely and accepted. We could see the positive build up in RSI. Major concern is shown by DMI and ADX line which indicated the Reversal of current trend.  Able to sustain the level above 1165, the index is likely to continue its rally towards its Resistance area of 1200/15.

 

Fundamental Analysis

 

We can see our country in a brink of new era. Four year ago this April, this beautiful land was devastated by Earthquake and shook Kathmandu to core. Our country is young with more than 40% of the country’s population between age group 16-40. It is ambitious, with plans for new highways, new mass transit infrastructure, new airports, more trade, more energy, and growth. With a stable government and an ambitious economic plan, Nepal is, for the first time in decades, in a position to dream big and to carry out a long-term vision that includes more and better services and opportunities for people.

 

Things are moving in the right direction. Extreme poverty is expected to decline from 15 percent in 2010 to a 10 percent in 2019, based on a poverty line of $1.90 a day. But Nepal will have to grow fast enough to achieve that goal by some estimates by as much as 8 percent a year to further reduce poverty and boost growth. This will require enormous levels of resources and investment.   Infrastructure investment alone will need to be around 12 percent of GDP or more per annum roughly twice the current levels.

 

Nepal’s economy is anticipated to grow at 6.2% in fiscal year (FY) 2019 and 6.3% in FY2020, says the latest Asian Development Bank (ADB) Nepal Macroeconomic Update. “The outlook is for a stable growth on the back of strong domestic demand, fueled by a larger budget allocation to subnational governments and accelerated post-earthquake reconstruction,” said ADB Country Director for Nepal Mr. MukhtorKhamudkhanov. “Challenges to smooth implementation of fiscal federalism and maintaining fiscal discipline at large could pose potential risks to the outlook. Nepal has the potential to achieve and sustain higher growth rate over a long period of time if these challenges are addressed.”

 

The agriculture sector will likely grow from 2.8% in FY2018 to 4.5% in FY2019, owing to a good monsoon that is expected to boost paddy production to 5.5 million tons, a rise of 8.4% from the previous year. The industry sector is expected to expand by 7.1% in FY2019 buoyed by improved electricity supply and efforts to improve the investment climate. And the services sector will likely grow by 6.4% in FY2019 with the expansion of wholesale and retail trade, hotels and restaurants, and financial intermediation.

 

The inflation is projected to rise to 4.4% in FY2019 from 4.2% in FY2018, partly reflecting somewhat higher inflation expected in India, stable oil prices, and higher government expenditures under the new federal structure.

Revenue collection has primarily increased on higher import growth and an improvement of the tax system. The budget as of mid-January 2019 is in surplus by NRs173.3 billion owing to strong revenue growth and a marginal slowdown in recurrent expenses. Though capital expenditure has surged in the fiscal year through mid-February, its execution stands at only 22.5%. This could again lead to a spending spree in the last month of the fiscal year, undermining the quality of capital projects, says the update.

 

With rising trade and current account deficit, Nepal increasingly faces the risk of external sector instability. Data to mid-February 2019 show that trade deficit has surpassed net invisible earnings, widening the current account deficit to $1.5 billion, marginally up from a deficit of $1.4 billion in the year earlier period. The current account deficit is projected to widen further to 9.3% of gross domestic product in FY2019, up from 8.2% a year earlier on increased imports of capital and consumer goods and services, notwithstanding a healthy growth of remittances and stable oil prices.

 

Investment Themes

 

·         Equitiesare gaining positive momentums in a meanwhile and seems to be at corrective phase.

·         Long-term growth prospects and cheap absolute and relative valuations support Equities.

·         Liquidity seems to be major concern in the market.

·         FDI commitment/acceptance of proposals for FDI is to be watched closely.

·   Stocks’ with high dividend yield are to be considered for buying and maintaining a Beta portfolio equaling market seems be rationale at the moment.
