NaMo Prevails over RaGa in Closely Contested Gujarat Election & Implications on Stock Market

Having lost around 860 points in the early morning trade, S&P BSE Sensex ended yesterday's session trading higher by 138 points. Volatility is the word which described yesterday's trading session as the benchmark index fluctuated by around 1200 points.

The poll of exit polls predicted the BJP to win with 112 of the 182 seats. Whereas, BJP managed to win 99 seats- way lower than the expectations of the exit polls.

BJP was expecting a thumping majority. Though this remained a distinct dream and was a validation of the fact that people weren't happy with the government's move of demonetization. The data too revealed that a majority of agriculture-dominated constituencies voted against the BJP.

The closely contested Gujarat elections would ensure that the road to the 2019 general elections would not be a one-way contest. As far as the stock markets are concerned, the markets have a Modi premium attached to the stock prices on account of his big bang reforms which have immensely benefited the organized and corporate sector. A not so thumping majority could possibly undermine the 'Modi premium' that the markets are fetching right now.
