As per an article in Livemint, Punjab National Bank (PNB) declared its results for the quarter ended June 2016. After reporting a net loss in the preceding quarter, the company posted a net profit of Rs 3 billion for the June quarter. The profits were aided by treasury gains worth Rs 6 billion during the quarter.

The asset quality still remains a matter of concern for the bank as Gross Non Performing Assets (NPA) advanced and stood at 13.75% at the end of the June quarter. Gross NPAs stood at 12.9% at the end of March quarter. Similarly, net NPAs also surged to 9.16% for the same period.

Net Interest Income, considered to be the core income of the bank also declined by 9.8% YoY during the quarter. The decline was on the back of a very slow loan growth.

Asset quality will be the key thing to watch out for going forward. The stock is trading down by 1.8%.

In another news update, Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) in its report on Thursday stated that the rainfall for the country as a whole was 4% below the long-period average.

Further, there has been scanty rainfall in the areas of Gujarat and Saurashtra. However, the same is expected to pick-up in the coming week.

To add to this, the report stated that there would be normal to above normal rainfall in the initial part of August in Central, North-West and Peninsular regions. Reportedly, 80% of the country's area has received normal to excess rainfall and 20% has received deficient rains. Saurashtra and Gujarat are facing the highest rainfall deficit in the country of 57% and 43% from the long-period average, respectively.

A normal monsoon will lead to higher disposable income in the hands of farmers, which in-turn will boost the rural consumption. To add to this, a normal monsoon will also help to keep the inflation at low levels. The possibility of a good monsoon would also increase the chances of the country's central bank retaining its easy money policy.
