Jeffries Predicts 25% Plunge in Indian Stock Market if Prime Minister Narendra Modi Does Not Come to Power in the 2024 General Election
A report titled “India: A New Era of Uncertainty” suggests that if Modi is defeated, it could lead to political instability, a sell-off of Indian stocks, and a short-term stock market decline. Modi’s pro-corporate policies may be reversed, impacting Indian businesses and economic growth. Despite these concerns, the Indian economy’s long-term outlook remains positive, and the stock market is expected to rebound over time.
The report’s prediction factors in challenges like high inflation, rising interest rates, and a widening trade deficit in the Indian economy. Political uncertainty arises as opposition parties unite against Modi, and global instability is influenced by US interest rate hikes and the ongoing Ukraine war.
These factors may impact the Indian stock market in the short term, but the long-term outlook remains positive. India’s youthful population, growing economy, large domestic market, and its role in the global shift away from China are key strengths.
Here are some additional important points from the report:
