rise. Markets found additional support from India Meteorological
Department's (IMD) forecast that the southwest monsoon is expected to
reach Kerala coast around Ju 1. Earlier IMD had estimated monsoon to be
delayed by a week.

• According to a major global credit rating agency, the Indian economy will
contract 5% in the current fiscal as the government imposed a nationwide
lockdown across the country to contain the COVID-19 pandemic which

low compared to that of other countries whose economies were similarly
impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

headquarters, industrial areas, rail hubs, enterprise clusters and agricultural
areas.
• According to a major global credit rating agency, the Indian banking sector
may witness significant asset quality challenges for the next two fiscals. The
challenges are expected to come due to several relaxations granted by the

COVID-19 pandemic some of which are extension of the 90-day moratorium
on recognition of impaired loans to 180 days and giving approval to banks
for funding interest on working capital loans.
• Singapore Telecommunications Ltd reported 65.2% plunge in its annual net

• European markets gained strongly on massive stimulus plan from the
European Commission and fairly encouraging jobless claims data from the
U.S. However, concerns about an escalation in U.S.-China tensions over the
Hong Kong issue restricted upside.
• U.S. markets fell after rising in the last two sessions. Fall came after the U.S.
