Investors are betting in a big way that the ruling party’s win can provide a boost to India’s economy, and in their haste to snap up shares they triggered market circuit-breakers Monday as stock benchmarks surged to double-digit percentage gains.
“I think the market still has the potential to go up by another 10% to 15%,” said Deven Choksey, managing director at K.R. Choksey Shares & Securities in Mumbai. See earlier coverage.
