MUMBAI – Shares of fast-moving consumer goods companies are likely to be flat next week, with a slightly cautious approach from investors. With the earnings season ending this week, investors will wait for major cues before placing aggressive bets. The Nifty FMCG index ended lower in five out of the last six weeks. Investors will track the ongoing monsoon season, which is expected to bring above-normal rains in the country.
The initial optimism for the sector due to the income tax cuts in the Budget has receded due to the weakness in demand in urban areas and the slower recovery in rural regions.
However, the sharply higher-than-expected GDP growth data will likely provide some relief. In the March quarter, India's GDP growth jumped to a four-quarter high of 7.4% on the back of higher government capital expenditure and a pick-up in construction activity, data released by the statistics ministry Friday showed.
On Friday, the Nifty FMCG closed at 55283 points, down 0.6%, and was among the worst-hit sectoral indices in most sessions this week. The index extended losses for the fourth consecutive session Friday and fell over 2% this week, underperforming the benchmark Nifty 50 index, which declined 0.4%. The Nifty FMCG index has fallen over 2% in May, while the Nifty 50 has risen nearly 2% during the same period.
