Emerging Markets Guru, and celebrated Managing Director of Templeton Asset Management, Mark Mobius believes that chances of a cyclical bear market are low for now.
He adds that the valuation gap between emerging and developed markets is narrowing. EMs are not terribly overvalued, they are still reasonable, and India can be assigned higher valuations based on growth, opines Mobius. He further says that it is possible that India may remain relatively expensive. Speaking on sectors he says, there is still some value in Indian tech stocks, as also a lot of opportunities in Retail, Broadcasting, Publishing sectors. He also feels that Indian oil companies will outperform regional peers when crude falls.
