Congress Resurgence Compared to Chinese Stock Market: Market Guru's Take
Market guru Shankar Sharma has likened the Congress party’s resurgence to the rise of China's stock market, which is on an upward trajectory following stimulus measures from Beijing.

On Saturday, exit poll results predicted a landslide win for Congress in Haryana and a strong showing in Jammu and Kashmir. According to C Voter exit polls, Congress is expected to win 50-58 of the 90 seats in Haryana, while the BJP, which won 40 seats in the previous election, is likely to secure only 18-28 seats. If these numbers hold true on the counting day, which is scheduled for Tuesday, the BJP will suffer another loss in a key north Indian state, following its defeats in Punjab to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and in Himachal Pradesh to the Congress.
The Congress sweep in Haryana was anticipated given its strong performance in the Lok Sabha polls. The party is also leading in Maharashtra, where assembly polls are scheduled for mid-November.
Sharma did not elaborate on his tweet, but it is inferred that he was drawing a parallel between the resurgence of the Congress party and the Chinese stock market. China’s stock market is expected to rally in the near future, according to financial experts. In contrast, the BJP has faced a series of setbacks, beginning with the Lok Sabha elections, where it failed to secure a majority on its own.
Analysts have predicted a continued rise in China’s stock market, as reported by CNBC. While investors see an opportunity in the Chinese market, experts have issued a caution for the Indian market, noting that most stocks have become overpriced.
Earlier this week, Christopher Wood, the global head of equity strategy at Jefferies, reduced exposure to Indian equities by one percentage point. Despite this, seasoned investors remain 'overweight' on the Indian market. Wood has increased the weight of China by two percentage points, though he has been 'underweight' on China.
In the context of Indian politics and the financial markets, Sharma’s analogy provides a unique perspective on the current political landscape. The comparison highlights the potential for a significant shift in political dynamics, much like the economic trends observed in global stock markets.
