Hindustan Unilever Ltd (HUL) shares went up by 9% today, almost reaching their highest levels of the year, due to post-election market changes. Investors are turning to defensive stocks, which are considered more stable during uncertain times.
The 2024 Lok Sabha elections have just finished, and the market is fluctuating as investors adjust to the new political situation. Defensive stocks, like those in the FMCG (Fast-Moving Consumer Goods) sector, are seen as safe options during such times.

What Next?
The election result based on sentiments of the share market is now over. As the ruling party BJP gets the 241 seats in the election and the current BJP government is in the form of making a government in support with their allies under NDA.
BJP did not perform as per the exit poll and also was not able to get the majority which is 272 seats. Due to which, forming a government is a little bit tricky for BJP as none of the political parties get the full majority.
As per the experts, the market will remain unstable till the forming of the stable government. However, BJP announced their oath ceremony on 8th or 9th June 2024, as It’s allies under NDA get the 282 seats which fulfil the eligibility of forming the ruling government.
Due to which, the share market will remain unexpectable till the oath ceremony of NEW PM.
