It also tracks the changes in the past one year to give investors an idea how their investments performed over a longer period.

Sensex

Markets continued to remain under pressure due to heavy selling in IT stocks, Fed's expectation of grim US economic outlook, and investors weak response to the first tranche of government's 'Atma Nirbhar Bharat' package.

10-yr bond yield (%)

Bond yields increased marginally on the expectations that the stimulus package could lead to an increase in government borrowings.

USD-INR

Rupee gained due to the increased volatility in the dollar index and positive expectations from the government's rescue package.

CPI-Industrial workers (%)

IIP contracted by -16.7% in March 2020 due to the weak performance by the mining, manufacturing and electricity sectors amid nationwide lockdown.
