What happened last week?
Nifty witnessed extremely volatile moves last week. It began with a gap-up opening at the start of the week following the exit poll results and GDP numbers. However, once the Lok Sabha election results started coming out on Tuesday, Nifty briefly fell by 8%. It was mainly because the ruling party BJP could not get a majority on its own.
Bulls returned strongly in the second half of the week once clarity emerged about NDA forming a coalition government.
Despite the volatility, Nifty closed last week at 23290 up by 3.3% from last week. The best week of 2024 on a closing basis.
India VIX shot up to 31% mid-week but cooled down to 16% towards the end of the week.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to form the government for a third consecutive term. The BJP emerged as the largest party, winning 240 out of 543 seats, while the Congress secured 99 seats.
The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) won 293 seats (later rising to 303 as small parties/independent candidates joined NDA), and the Opposition INDIA alliance won 232 seats.
The Reserve Bank of India kept its benchmark policy repo at 6.5% for the eighth consecutive meeting in June 2024. The latest move came after annual inflation stood at 4.85% in April 2024 staying within the RBI's 2-6% target range in the medium term.
Additionally, the RBI revised the economic growth forecast for the fiscal year 2025 to 7.2% from 7%.
The HSBC India Manufacturing PMI was 57.5 in May 2024. This indicates a slower but still significant improvement in manufacturing. Reduced working hours due to an intensive heatwave may have impacted production volumes. However, new export orders reached their highest level in over 13 years.
The HSBC India Services PMI was at 60.4 in May 2024. This was the 34th consecutive month of expansion in services activity. New orders continued to rise substantially.
