OUTLOOK

DOLLAR
    Amid Donald Trumps' continuous tirade against a 'strong' dollar, the Economist's Big Mac Index shows nearly all currencies in the index are undervalued against the greenback.

INTEREST RATE
    As May industrial growth remained stuck in low single digits and June inflation stayed within RBI's comfort zone even at its eight-month high, analysts say here is an opportunity for RBI to cut rates again.

SECTOR
    V Srivatsa of UTI MF is positive on the non-power capex theme, as he feels the capex cycle will pick up probably by the second half of this year or next year.
