US elections 2024:
On Wednesday, November 6, the domestic equity market was different in trend as the benchmark indices surged more than 1 percent in the trade amid developments of news that Republican Donald Trump was set to become the 47th president of the United States.

Donald Trump declared victory in the 2024 presidential race after Fox News projected that he beat Democrat Kamala Harris-a stunning political comeback four years after he left the White House.
“America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate,” he said to a roaring crowd of supporters early on Wednesday at the Palm Beach County Convention Center, flanked by his vice presidential running mate, Senator JD Vance, Republican leaders, and members of the Trump family.
Trump has emerged victorious in North Carolina and Georgia, two of the swing states on Tuesday’s US presidential election ballot, according to Edison Research, moving him closer to completing a stunning political comeback four years after he left the White House.
A candidate needs at least 270 votes in the state-by-state Electoral College to claim the presidency.
Why are Indian markets rising?
On the impact of Trump on the Indian economy and markets, people are divided, but most seem to agree that the long-term relationship between the US and India is steady and will go deeper if Trump comes into power.
Secondly, analysts state that the stability and durability of India-US relations is that in the last ten years or more, the relationship has had minimum impact due to the party and people in power shifts across parties in the USA.
Sectors like IT services and pharmaceuticals, and the textile sectors might need reorientation due to the new trade policies and healthcare reforms of the country. But the bonhomie and personal chemistry between Indian PM and US President may go a long way in smoothing ruffled feathers, says Dr Manoranjan Sharma, chief economist with Infomerics Ratings.
