Boom or bottoms or investment-cycle in a economy moves with the monetary-policy. When the Reserve bank looses interest rates the cycle turns into boom or when it tightens interest-rates cycle converges to bottom. It is still early to expect the economy to bottom-out because we still might have to go through two events which can force the RBI to increase interest rates. Number one is the high-food inflation (expected, too, because of possibility of drought). The RBI again might increase interest rate to control some demand if the supply-side does not improve. And, number-two is slow switch-off of the QE in the US because a capital-flight and weakening of Rupee might again press our RBI Governor to tighten interest rates and money-supply. The stock-market in INDIA and our domestic investors are waiting for the market to correct so that stock-prices become affordable. Experts say that there is an asset-price-bubble in the market because of unsustainable gap between nominal prices and real-prices and expect it to correct with inflation, but the real stock prices will also go up). But for foreign investors things are a little bit different because they might not spent that money in INDIA, where inflation is high, and spend that monies in their home countries where inflation is low. At this point of time the domestic-investors might expect the RBI to tighten so that the market corrects itself a little more affordable to enter the stock-market.
