The
major indices of the Indian stock markets were volatile on Monday and closed

712 declines and 348 unchanged. The trends of the major indices in the course
of Monday’s trading are given in the table below:
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

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. SBI shares closed at
Rs273.60, up 0.22% on the NSE.
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.
