• Indian equity markets witnessed initial buying spree following positive
global cues and merger news in the consumable sector. Optimism that
China will announce more measures to support its economy boosted the
metal stocks. However, all the gains were erased towards session end to
close in the red amid profit booking.
• Key benchmark indices S&P BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 lost 0.21% and 0.11%
to close at 30,609.30 and 9,029.05 respectively. S&P BSE MidCap and S&P
BSE SmallCap gained 1.21% and 0.63% respectively.
• The overall market breadth on BSE was strong with 1,203 scrips advancing
and 1,138 scrips declining. A total of 193 scrips remained unchanged.

followed by S&P BSE Consumer Durables, up 2.55% and S&P BSE Basic
Materials, up 2.53%. S&P BSE Telecom was the major loser, down 4.64%

• The Indian government notified the Rs. 3 lakh crore Emergency Credit Line
Guarantee Scheme for Medium, Small and Micro Enterprises (MSMEs) under

COVID-19 pandemic.
• A major domestic credit rating agency forecasted the growth of the Indian
economy to contract 5% in FY21. The rating agency expects the non-
agricultural sector to contract 6% in FY21. However, the agriculture sector
is expected to provide some support by growing at 2.5% in the same fiscal
on the back of normal monsoons. The rating agency further added that the
negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the domestic growth may be
neutralised to some extent by fiscal support from the government and
lower global crude oil prices.

government has issued tax refunds worth Rs. 26,242 crore to 16,84,298

• According to a major domestic credit rating agency, the Rs. 90,000 crore
liquidity infusion for power distribution companies announced by the Indian
government will only provide temporary relief and will not result in any
long term stability. The rating agency is of the view that the financial health
of power distribution companies has remained weak due to legacy issues
such as aggregate technical and commercial (AT&C) losses, wide gap
between average cost of supply and average revenue realisation which
were not methodically addressed. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic
has only aggravated the stress of power distribution companies.
• Jindal Steel and Power Ltd (JSPL) reported a consolidated profit after tax

Covid-19.
• Asian markets rose following a host of positive cues. While several U.S.
states have begun lifting the restrictions of businesses and public spaces, a
survey showed improvement in German business confidence and China
sought to reassure Hong Kong that its judiciary would remain independent
under a new national security law. Today (as on May 27), Asian markets rose
following rise on the Wall Street overnight. Both Nikkei and Hang Seng
were traded up 0.36%, was up 0.56% (as at 8.a.m. IST), respectively.
• European markets gained on reports about a potential coronavirus vaccine,
and on optimism about economic recovery following several countries
across the globe relaxing lockdown restrictions and reopening more
businesses. Hopes of more stimulus to support the Eurozone economy also
contributed to the surge in stock prices.
• U.S. markets mostly rose on optimism about the reopening of the economy
through gradual removal of economic restrictions related to COVID-19 and
signs that Americans are beginning to feel safe enough to travel and
congregate in larger groups.
