Indian Indices:
Indian equity benchmarks are likely to witness a gap up opening on Monday tracking a mostly positive trend across markets in Asia amid growing optimism that the US economy is in strong shape to withstand the effect of higher interest rates, bolstering risk taking appetite.
While US economic growth in the first quarter was revised up to 0.8 per cent annualized pace from 0.5 per cent reported earlier, Fed Chair Janet Yellen said that an improving American economy is likely to pave the way for a hike in borrowing costs in the coming months.

Most Asian stocks advanced on speculation that the world’s biggest economy is strong enough to handle higher borrowing costs.
Shanghai Composite fell as metal and technology shares retreated while a slowdown in Chinese industrial profit growth to 4.2 per cent, year on year, in April 2016 from 11.1 per cent in March 2016, added to the worries over the world’s second biggest economy.
Hang Seng rose and Japan’s Nikkei 225 jumped as a weaker yen bolstered the appeal of exporter stocks.
