Nifty experienced a significant surge in Wednesday’s trade, with all the sectoral indices ending the day in the green. Notably, Nifty Metal, Nifty Auto, Nifty Bank, Nifty FMCG, and Nifty Financial Services posted gains of over 4%.

The positive takeaway from the day was that investors ignored election jitters to show faith in long-term Indian market potential and this is positive.

Major Trigger: PM Modi’s Victory Speech

India’s VIX fell by 29% to close below the 19 level. For India VIX its steepest drop was seen since 2015.

The Verdict: A Win for Indian Investors
