After the exit polls predicted a victory for the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the Indian general elections, the stock market witnessed a massive surge. The Sensex and Nifty, the two major indices of the Indian stock market, reached an all-time high on Monday, May 20th, 2019. The Sensex surged to 39,352.67 points, while the Nifty crossed the 11,800 mark, reaching 11,828.75 points.
The exit poll results indicated that the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) was likely to secure a comfortable majority in the Lok Sabha elections. This positive news led to a significant surge in the stock market, with investors expressing confidence in the stability and continuity of the current government’s policies.
The Sensex and Nifty have been on an upward trajectory in the past few weeks as the election process unfolded. The markets have been buoyed by expectations of a stable government and continued economic reforms. The exit poll predictions further fueled the bullish sentiment in the stock market, leading to the record highs witnessed on Monday.
The Sensex, which is operated by the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), is considered a barometer of the Indian stock market. It comprises 30 actively traded stocks, representing various sectors of the economy. The Nifty, on the other hand, is managed by the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and consists of 50 actively traded stocks listed on the exchange.
The record highs achieved by the Sensex and Nifty are reflective of the optimism and confidence of investors in the Indian economy. The stock market is often influenced by political developments, and the exit poll results have had a significant impact on investor sentiment.
As the election results are announced on May 23rd, the stock market is expected to witness further volatility. If the actual election results align with the exit poll predictions, it is likely that the stock market will continue to rally. However, any surprises in the election outcome could lead to fluctuations in the market.
In conclusion, the record highs achieved by the Sensex and Nifty following the exit poll predictions are a testament to the optimism of investors in the Indian economy. The stock market is closely monitoring the election developments, and the final results are expected to have a substantial impact on market trends in the coming days.
