8.Government withdraws wage protection plan.

9. Automakers in US returned to their job after 2 months of locked down. 

My take:- Overall news from different sources are positive. Our Indian markets will be volatile today but will close at higher ends taking the cues from global market. For investors, quarterly results of Airtel and Bajaj Finance will be highlight of the day. For traders, it is going to be further difficult due to increase in volatility. VIX increment should be always treated with cautions. Vix jumped by 8% and closed at 40.9 yesterday.
