STOCK MARKET ON ALL TIME HIGH

Investors' wealth surged by ₹12.48 lakh crore during the morning trade on June 3, as the benchmark equity index Sensex reached a historic high following exit polls predicting a significant victory for the BJP-led NDA in the Lok Sabha elections. The 30-share BSE Sensex soared by 2,777.58 points, or 3.75%, to a record peak of 76,738.89 in early trade.

This substantial rally in equities boosted the market capitalisation of BSE-listed companies by ₹12,48,952.68 crore, reaching an unprecedented ₹4,24,61,833.82 crore ($5.10 trillion) during the morning session.

Exit polls released on June 1 indicated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to secure a third consecutive term, with the BJP-led NDA expected to achieve a substantial majority in the Lok Sabha elections. The vote counting is set for June 4.

The market outlook remains positive in both the short and long term, supported by the recently released strong GDP growth data. India's economy grew by 8.2% in the fiscal year ending in March, reinforcing its position as the fastest-growing major economy in the world. The GDP figures released on Friday exceeded expectations with 8.2% growth, providing fundamental support to the market.

All 30 Sensex companies were trading positively. Power Grid, NTPC, State Bank of India, Larsen & Toubro, Mahindra & Mahindra, IndusInd Bank, and Axis Bank were the biggest gainers among the Sensex pack.

In Asian markets, Seoul, Tokyo, and Hong Kong were trading higher, while Shanghai was lower. U.S. markets mostly ended higher on May 31. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) purchased equities worth ₹1,613.24 crore on Friday, according to exchange data.
