Strong festive sales boosted growth numbers in the final quarter of 2020 as India exited recession after two quarters of growth contraction.

Some of the&nbsp;internal indicators&nbsp;are also not very encouraging&nbsp;for example spending from the govt&nbsp;as well private spending have shown a contraction on a&nbsp;year on year&nbsp;basis.&nbsp;&nbsp;
It is&nbsp;definitely&nbsp;too&nbsp;early to celebrate the recovery as International ratings agency Moody&rsquo;s warns that the risk to growth forecast for India is tilted to the downside. Even JPMorgan&nbsp;has raised an alarm that&nbsp;&nbsp;a&nbsp;consumer credit crisis could derail India&rsquo;s economic recovery . For the weekend however economy watchers can enjoy the headline that India has exited recession.&nbsp;

Rising yields is giving traders an unpleasant déjà vu of the 2013 ‘taper tantrum’ where markets sold off aggressively as the money market

Rising yields is giving traders an unpleasant&nbsp;d&eacute;j&agrave; vu of the 2013 &lsquo;taper tantrum&rsquo; where markets sold off aggressively as the money markets signaled the end of cheap money.&nbsp;Even though the surge is not as dramatic as 8 years ago it is enough to send equities into a tizzy.&nbsp;&nbsp; So why&nbsp;do stock markets get rattled by rising bond yields.&nbsp;&nbsp;
 Firstly,&nbsp;Rise in yields indicate the money markets betting on the possibility of higher rates by the central bank&nbsp;as inflation bets rise. In the US its mostly due to improving economic data and traders worried the fed will shift low rates stance earlier than anticipated.&nbsp;Prices in India have been subdued so far but with sharp rises in fuel prices the RBI has also sounded off the concern on inflationary pressure.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Secondly,&nbsp;Investors also reassess portfolio allocations are yields&nbsp;rise,&nbsp;betting more on cheaper safer bond markets as returns become more attractive.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Finally, the cost&nbsp;of capital&nbsp;also rises significantly with rising yields and the debt pressure on the corporate sector enlarges in turn adding pressure on to the stock.&nbsp;&nbsp;
