Lockdown to shave off 74% of the real GDP, says HDFC report

1: 30 PM

HDBC Bank, in its latest treasury report, has said the 21-day country-wide lockdown will shave off 74 per cent of the real GDP (Goods and Domestic product) or Rs 10 lakh crore, and that the April-June growth will contract 3 per cent. The contraction in economic growth will also spill over to the next quarter, thus keeping the growth weak but in positive quadrant, it said.

The HDFC Bank report claims the lockdown's initial impact on manufacturing activity is expected to be somewhat lower as 1/3 of net value added in manufacturing comes from the production of essential items such as food, beverages, petroleum and coke, pharma and medicinal products. It added the drag on manufacturing growth may linger on beyond the first half of the next fiscal year.

1: 15 PM

Commenting on Gold's outlook, Hareesh V, Head of Commodity, at Geojit Financial Services said,"Monetary and fiscal stimulus measures taken by various central banks to protect from the possible economic fallout may lift gold's safe haven demand. Increased anxiety on risky asset prompted investors to seek shelter in safe haven like gold. Meanwhile, a strong dollar and moderate physical activities due to government tightened lockdowns likely to limit major buying interest in the commodity."

On Spot Gold's near term technical outlook, he further added," Prices likely to continue with mild positive bias as long as $1585 hold the downside. Meanwhile, intraday resistance is seen at $1635 which needs to be cleared to trigger further sharp rallies. A close below $1445 is a signal of major liquidation pressure."
