On Wednesday, after jumping over 300 points, the Sensex finished at 39,110.21 higher by 140 points boosted by gains in stocks of banking and auto sectors ahead of the election outcome. Similarly, the Nifty 50 ended at 11,737.90 rising by 28.80 points or 0.25%.
Who comes into rule, time will tell. However, here’s how you can expect Sensex and Nifty to perform.
Madhavi Arora, Economist, FX & Rates- Edelweiss Securities Ltd said, "Markets are already rejoicing the expected political stability, with all asset classes responding very well to the exit polls. For bonds the near-term implications would be positive, backed by (1) the predictable fiscal guidance, (2) near-term inflation certainty, (3) positive Gsec supply dynamics, (4) strengthening further rate cuts expectations, and (5) globally dovish monetary stance amid growth concerns."

Prakash Sakpal Economist, Asia at ING said, “The outperformance of the Indian markets and the rupee since February 2019 reflects increased investor confidence in prime minister Modi staying in power, but the uncertainty surrounding election results will undoubtedly sustain the negative sentiment in local markets already roiled by contagion from the escalation of the US-China trade war recently.”
Sakpal adds, “We believe the markets are priced in for (our) baseline scenario of a BJP-led coalition retaining power albeit with a thin margin. Such an outcome means that the election results should have little impact on markets, and in turn should be left to be driven by non-political factors, domestic and external.”
On Nifty, Mustafa Nadeem, CEO, Epic Research said, "As per the derivatives data, Weekly options tomorrow are showing a broader range of 12000 - 11500 while the Monthly options are showing the broader range for the market to be 11000 - 12000. June series is pointing to a higher addition on the PE side on lower strikes of 11500 - 11000 - 10500. We may see higher volatility in the coming day with this being the overall range. We suggest investors to not have naked positions and if not avoid having intraday positions.”
Nadeem recommends these stocks.
