ABC Bearings hit upper circuit post merger announcement.

Sunil Kewalramani, author and chief investment officer at Global Money Investor said investors should book profits while they are headed. He expects to see a “deep correction” in global equities, including India, in the next two months or so. “I think the correction should come in by around August 15-20,” he told BloombergQuint in a phone interview.

He said there could be multiple triggers to this correction ranging from geopolitical concerns or uncertainty brought upon by the GST rollout. “This seems to be the silence before the storm as far as the impact of the GST is concerned.”

While the overall impact of GST will be a big positive, he said countries that have adopted the unified tax regime in the past have taken at least 10-12 months to normalise. “The SME sector is in a complete disarray right now.” He hoped Prime Minister Modi will shift his focus to job creation and getting the consumption cycle going.
