After the NDA turmoil, the market can witness a historic rise.
According to this, last week the market witnessed a period of fluctuations and at the end of the week, after Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP claimed to form a hat-trick NDA government, the market witnessed a historic boom. Now with the formation and swearing-in of the new government on Sunday, this record boom is likely to continue next week as well and there will be a new beginning of strong development in the country.
