YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Indian stocks suffered their worst day in about four months as the nervousness over the outcome of the ongoing general elections persisted.

The benchmark NSE Nifty 50 Index tumbled 1.6%, the most since Jan. 17, to fall past its 100-day moving average. In October, when the gauge closed below the crucial support, it went on to extend its fall over the next few sessions.

Speculation regarding the impact of the low voter turnout on the prospects for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s bid for a third term in power has been the main driver of investor sentiment in recent sessions. There’s concern that a weaker-than-expected majority may hamper his ability to push through reforms such as revamping infrastructure and boosting manufacturing sector.
