"Global equity markets have positive news from the US inflation data for July which has come at 0.5% month on month. This is slightly lower than expected and confirms the Fed thesis that inflation is transitory. The positive response of Dow and S&P to the inflation numbers and the decline in the Dollar index will strengthen the bulls. However, investors should exercise caution in this exuberant bull market since valuations are stretched and risks are rising. Healthy development in the market is the steady removal of froth in the mid-and small-cap segments which are down 3.5% and 6% respectively from their peaks. At the same time, the return of quality like HDFC twins, Kotak Bank, Bharti, and RIL bode well for the market health"
