2. Description of Project in brief:
Financial services are vital tools of machinery for economy and they lubricate the wheels of economic
development. Once the economy crosses the subsistence level, financial services become more prominent and
important to that economy.
Financial services in current days are emerging as a crucial industry world over and are termed as a sun rise
industry.
The India Infoline group were founded in 1995 by Mr. Nirmal Jain (Chairman and Managing Director) as an
independent business research and information provider. Then gradually evolved into a one-stop financial
services solutions provider.

As an intern in IIFL, I have been assigned a project which spans my work to areas of research on Oil and Gas
sector.
Primary Objective 1:
S&P BSE Oil & Gas Index-Stocks Valuation and Performance of Index.
Stock markets across the globe take the privilege of having a large number of indices on shares across various
compositions & combinations of industry and economic sectors.
Indian oil & gas sector has seen an eventful FY13 with hoards of announcements by companies and plenty of
changes accorded by the government.
While some companies have gained out of these, there are few who have borne the pain as well. External
factors such as crude price movements, exchange rate fluctuations, sanctions on Iran, Euro Zone debt
crisis and many more have played their part in increasing the volatility.
In this project, I will filter the factors that I feel will have the maximum impact on the sectors performance in
the medium term.
Also to provide an outlook on each of these variables and give an insight into their impact on the respective
companies.
Based on the findings, I have also furnished my investment view on the following 10 companies based on the
stock valuation, whether underpriced, overpriced, or correctly priced:
The companies are:
BPCL, Cain India, Castrol, GAIL, HPCL, IOC, Oil India, ONGC, Petronet, Reliance.

Primary Objective 2:
Analyse the movement of USD-INR pair in Currency Market and forecast its price movements

The USD-INR exchange rate is an important indicator of investor sentiment and can significantly impact not
only the fortunes of individual firms and sectors but also the government. While this exchange rate has been
very stable overall for the last five years (44.86 on April 24th, 2006 and 44.34 on April 15th, 2011), recently
there have been periods of significant volatility.
The exchange rate of USD/INR is at 54.210 which has gone up by 22.23% which is a speculated to touch 60
from a year of now.
In my project firstly to compute the entry points of USD-INR for different time intervals using various
technical tools like EMA , RSI, Bollinger bands.
Secondly I would forecast the price for the month of May, 2013 with the help of Elliot Wave Theory &
Support and resistance levels.

6. Limitations of the Study:

Price movements of USD and INR are affected by both fundamental and technical factors. To a large
extent, we are ignoring the fundamental factors which are likely to affect the price movements of USDINR.
Future is uncertain No one can accurately predict the future. Our forecast of future prices of USD-INR is
based on historical price movements which may or may not hold true.
The primary information given by the person may not be very accurate because of lesser time and their
busy work schedule.
