Shares of Adani Group companies lost almost 20% as vote counting for India’s election indicated a closer-than-expected contest between the BJP-led NDA and the Congress-led I.N.D.I.A bloc.
Adani Ports plunged by more than 18%, while Adani Enterprises plummeted 19%.

Goldman’s Kaplan says no rate cut until at least September
Goldman Sachs vice chairman and former Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan told CNBC on Monday that he does not see a rate cut this summer unless something “shocking” happens.
“I think September is the first month where a cut is a possibility, but I think the Fed would need to see at least a few more months of improvement in inflation. If they see it, September is possible,” Kaplan said on “Closing Bell.”
The central bank’s next policy decision is due out June 12.
