NEW DELHI – Stocks of fast-moving consumer goods companies are expected to log some gains in the coming week as investors celebrate the central government's recommendation to rationalise the Goods and Services Tax system into a two-rate structure. Next week, all eyes will be on the decision of the GST Council, which is set to meet on Wednesday-Thursday and expected to deliberate on rate cuts across sectors. However, analysts did not rule out negative surprises, especially for items in the luxury and sin goods categories.
"I see the index (Nifty FMCG) moving higher towards initially 56700-odd levels. Once there is a surpass of this level, 57200 is the potential upside that we're looking at. On the downside, there is a very strong base building which is visible at levels of around 55500, which also correspondents to its 50-day EMA (exponential moving average). For the next week, the outlook is sanguine. We're positive on the index," said Sugandha Sachdeva, founder of SS WealthStreet.
In the near-term, analysts have a largely positive outlook for the FMCG sector amid a host of perceived support factors. "...Because of the threat of (US) tariff, the export-oriented sectors have taken a big hit. India is drawing more towards being more self-reliant. So, there will be a big push in the FMCG sector...", Sachdeva said. She added that the expected cuts in GST rates and the ongoing festive season are likely to further help the sector.
Friday, the Nifty FMCG index ended at 56141.85 points, up 0.95%. Eleven out of the fifteen index constituents ended the session in green. Over the week, the index rose 0.7%, performing far better than the Nifty 50 which fell 1.8%.
