The Story in Brief
Bank of America's strategy report, authored by Amish Shah, states that the Nifty earnings cycle is gaining momentum. Companies representing roughly 97% of the index's market capitalisation posted results that were about 3% ahead of expectations, with aggregate earnings growth at 13% year-on-year. Metals delivered the strongest earnings beat among sectors, according to the report.

If the Reserve Bank of India cuts rates later this year, will earnings momentum broaden? Watch the next two quarters for the real answer.
