Diwali Should Drive Indian Market Growth 9 comments

Just as the western world celebrates Christmas, the Indian subcontinent celebrates Deepavali or Diwali. Diwali not only is a festival of lights, but also marks the beginning of the new fiscal year for many businesses in India. Besides this, Diwali also marks a busy holiday shopping season for Indians. For these reasons, it may be interesting to watch the performance of the Indian stock market index with respect to the Diwali season. The three day festival of Diwali this year is celebrated from November 8th through 10th.
I considered four cases around the Diwali event; 30 and 60 days preceding Diwali and 30 and 60 days after Diwali. I used the BSE sensex of the Indian market, which is a market capitalization weighted index of 30 large and well established companies. The table below shows the performance of BSE sensex before and after Diwali shopping season for the previous 10 years.
As you can see from the average (arithmetic) performances, the index has done comparatively better after the Diwali season than before. One of the caveats with this point is that BSE sensex has only 30 stocks and may not be broad enough to generalize.
The chart below shows how some of the main Indian funds have performed YTD. Although all the funds have done splendidly this year, the US slowdown can have a dent on BSE sensex too.
Diwali seems to have positive effect on Indian stock markets, but I think, this year the global growth story has a much bigger impetus to drive Indian markets higher than the "Diwali Effect". But the Diwali Effect can certainly add to the growth story in Indian markets.
Disclosure: Author has a long position in some of the above-mentioned funds.

Your blog is nice and informative. We think your visitors will like this posting.
For last few days RNRL has given 130% return, which it was not able to give in last 6 months. Same is the case with RNRL. both has made new highs. But now they are down again. Yet we suggest no need to worry just keep them hold them for few days as they will surely give handsome money even to those who have bought it at higher levels. We are still bullish on RPL and RNRL , they just need to come out of the legal issues now.
