Share Market Today LIVE | Market outlook post the Election results by Rupen Rajguru of Julius Baer India
"Over the next few days, there could be a lot of action around NDA staking the claim to form the government, and thereafter a lot of noise could be around key portfolio/ministry allocation which will keep the equity markets volatile," says Rupen Rajguru, Head Equity Investments and Strategy, Julius Baer India.
He adds with the coalition government and possible shifts in equations in the political alliances, the government will be on some sort of a backfoot in terms of bold policy measures (Land/Labour /Judicial reforms, Uniform Civil Code, etc.).
Further, Rajguru believes in the near term defensives (FMCG, IT and Healthcare) will outperform capex oriented sectors. Additionally, some of the sectors with strong narratives - PSUs, Defense, Railways will take a breather and can potentially see some de-rating from the current near all-time high valuations. Over the medium to longer term, the structural story remains intact: (EARNINGS + CAPEX + CREDIT GROWTH) and we continue to believe that India has entered a phase wherein for the next few years: Earnings growth > Nominal GDP. Hence, we continue to remain constructive on the long term potential of the Indian market and maintain our overweight stance on Financials, Autos, Real Estate, and select Industrials/Manufacturing companies.

Share Market Today LIVE | Aditya Goela on FMCG sector
"The FMCG sector's resilience can be attributed to its defensive nature and the anticipation of a boost in rural demand post-election. The expectation of a good monsoon and softening of raw material prices, FMCG companies are poised to pass on the benefits to consumers while also investing more in brand building. This combination is expected to drive up demand for FMCG products, particularly in rural and semi-urban markets," says Aditya Goela, CFA, Co-Founder of Goela School of Finance
Goela adds however, it's important to note that the FMCG has not performed so well recently. The fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector has been one of the worst-performing sectors in the current calendar year so far. Some of the factors contributing this are sluggish rural demand, high inflation and heightened competitive pressure, which hindered overall volume growth. Additionally, evolving consumer preferences towards sustainable and health-conscious products may have influenced the sector's performance
