India’s stock markets erase $371 billion after ruling BJP falls short of election expectations

India’s markets saw their largest one-day loss in four years after the electoral performance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party fell short of expectations. The All India Market Capitalization index, tracked on the Bombay Stock index, dropped over $371 billion on June 4 alone. The losses on Tuesday meant the Sensex index erased all its gains this year in a single day, going from a 5.85% year-to-date gain on Monday to a 0.22% loss position.
