A day after the Modi government retauned power as the results of the Lok Sabha Elections filtered in, the stock markets soared by a massive 623 points, which is today. This stems from the positive sentiment craeted by the Modi government as it is widely believed by teh market participants that its focus will be on powering the economy to new highs.
Notably, it was the exit polls that first hinted at return of power by the Modi led NDA government that set fire to stock markets. Thereafter, when the Lok Sabha counting of votes started showing the same trends on 23rd May, the stocks rocketed by over 1400 points even though Sensex gave up the gains later in day as investors booked profits. Today, again, the same sentiment grabbed the markets and notably, this time they closed massivelty in the green.
Sensex closed up 623.33 points at 39434.72, while Nifty was up 187.10 points at 11844.10. About 1823 shares have advanced, 676 shares declined, and 150 shares are unchanged. All the sectoral indices ended in the green led by BSE PSU Bank (up 5.5%) followed by auto, metal and infra gained more than 2 percent. ICICI Bank, Zee Entertainment, Vedanta, Tata Steel and Bharti Airtel were among major gainers in the Nifty, while Tech Mahindra, NTPC, ONGC, TCS and HCL Tech were some of the losers.
