Volatility was also witnessed on account of impending results of Gujarat and HP elections which to some extent was reversed by the exit poll outcome indicating BJP pulling through both the states.
Going ahead, the focus would be on the election outcome to be declared on 18th Dec along with the winter session of Parliament which has just commenced.
