Sales of domestic passenger cars edged higher by 19.64% in May 2018, industry data showed on Monday. The S & P BSE Auto Index closed at 24,989.32, up 0.12% on the BSE.

State-run Allahabad Bank, which referred 65 stressed accounts involving around Rs12,566 crore to the NCLT for IBC resolution during last fiscal, is focusing on recovery and rebalancing its loan book with emphasis on small, micro, agriculture and retail advances, it claimed. Allahabad Bank shares closed at Rs45.55, down 1.62% on the NSE.

The State Bank of India (SBI), the country's largest public sector lender, recorded its highest non-performing asset (NPAs) of Rs1.1 lakh crore in 2017-18, almost equal to what it had registered in the decade before, according to information available through RTI and the bank's annual report.

Monetary policy announcements by global central banks coupled with the upcoming release of major macro-economic data points on industrial production and inflation are expected to set the trend for the domestic equity indices. According to market observers, other key factors such as rupee's movements against the US dollar and fluctuations in crude oil prices as well as developments on monsoon's progress will impact investors' risk-taking appetite. This week will have a flurry of economic data for India. "A negative surprise in inflation data would reinforce the hawkish stance of RBI (Reserve Bank of India). A weaker external sector data would have an impact on INR, especially during a negative EM (emerging markets) sentiment. IIP (Index of Industrial Production) would be watched closely for an ongoing economic expansion,” pointed out market analysts. 

The Central Statistics Office (CSO) is slated to release the macro-economic data points of IIP and CPI (Consumer Price Index) on June 12. Subsequently, other major macro-economic data points such as WPI (Wholesale Price Index), Current Account Deficit and Balance of Trade figures will be released. On the global front, monetary policy announcements by the US Federal Reserve, ECB (European Central Bank) and the Bank of Japan (BoJ) will form major themes for the week. The US Fed rate move and language will set the tone for sentiment in EM (emerging markets) as well Indian markets. The key is whether the US Fed pays attention to the vulnerable EM situation. Besides, the movement of Indian rupee against the US dollar and fluctuations in global crude oil prices will also set the course for the key indices.
