Market insiders said that there was some uncertainty among investors around the election. But as the election was completed without any major conflict, investors were somewhat relieved.
However, there are still concerns about how sustainable this rise in the market will be, they said.
The rise of the index is a big effect of the increase in the price of some shares of the banking sector.
In the stock market, there was no movement in the share prices of the banking sector for a long time. But today saw the highest price increase in the shares of some banks.
Apart from this, the share prices of some companies with good fundamentals also increased.
