According to Siddhartha Khemka, Head – Retail Research, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd, Indian equities celebrated BJP’s sweeping victory in the three states by rallying more than 400 points to hit fresh highs.

“The outcome overwhelmingly in favour of the incumbent BJP, strong macroeconomic data and easing global interest rate expectations boosted the market momentum. Nifty has rallied by 1,865 points or 10 per cent from its low of 18,837 made on October 23.

“We expect market sentiment to strengthen further as the ongoing pre-election rally is quite strong now. Given the government’s focus approach towards long-term capex across key areas, we expect BFSI, Industrials, Real Estate, Auto and Consumer Discretionary to do well going forward,” Khemka added.
