Commenting on the markets’ outlook between now and the elections, Ved Prakash Chaturvedi, Managing Director of Tata Mutual Fund, said the markets would reflect the news flow regarding what coalition could come into power. “If the feeling develops — as it has in the last fortnight — that there would be a more diverse coalition, which will decide policy in the next few years, there would be some concern in the markets,” he said. “However, there is also this feeling that there is so much of choppiness in anticipation of elections that after whatever government comes to power, there will be a relief rally immediately after, reflecting the fact that there is some government in power and we can look forward to a period of some policy making.”
