  Assembly Election Results 2018: A day ahead of the Assembly election results in five states, the benchmark Sensex plummeted 714 points as investors panicked over exit polls suggesting the Congress is giving a tough fight to the ruling BJP in state elections. The bruised rupee and weak global cues also further dampened sentiment. BSE Sensex cracked below the 35,000 mark to close at 34,959.72. The broader NSE Nifty fell 205.25 points, or 1.92 per cent, to 10,488.45.

  HDFC Securities` Retail Research Head Deepak Jasani told IANS, "Election results will be known on Tuesday. If the BJP does well compared to expectations in exit polls, then we could witness a minor relief rally. However, the overhang of negativity may still persist." The exit polls Friday predicted a tight finish between the BJP and the Congress in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, and a win for the opposition party in Rajasthan. "If exit polls are true, then it can increase the political risk premium on the rupee," said said Anindya Banerjee, Deputy Vice President for Currency and Interest Rates with Kotak Securities.

  Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, Chhattisgarh, Mizoram Assembly Election Results 2018: Indian markets weakened as exit polls in the state elections augured badly for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ruling party just months before a national vote. Reuters reports that Investors are scrutinising polls in five states - Rajasthan, Chhatisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Telengana, Mizoram - for clues to how Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party will fare in a general election that must be called by May. “The exit polls are mixed, but we don’t want to take any risk before actual results are out given that oil is also up,” said a trader at a foreign bank. “Sentiment will remain cautious until state election results are out.” (Reuters)
