Assembly election results: BJP win triggers renewed optimism for markets
V K Vijayakumar, chief investment strategist at Geojit Financial: "The state elections results have turned out to be a big event which can trigger renewed optimism and further rally in the market. Market likes political stability and a reform-oriented, market-friendly government. From the market perspective, the results were better-than-expected. The market has already partly discounted a BJP victory with a 500 point rally during the last 4 sessions. But the mood is so exuberant that the rally will continue. The global backdrop also is favourable with the US 10-year bond yield declining to 4.23%. An across the board rally in stocks is in the offing. A restraining factor will be the valuations which are high and will get stretched further with the rally gaining momentum. In the near-term the market will ignore fundamentals and move up but soon high valuations will trigger some selling."

According to Jefferies Financial Group Inc, cyclical stocks are likely to gain the most from the election results. Meanwhile, Nuvama Wealth Management expresses increased confidence in the government's capital spending plans due to the election outcomes.
