The Congress Party won a decisive victory in India and this sent Indian stocks up 17% on average. The move was so large that the Bombay Stock Exchange had to close after already seeing one halt. This had a huge impact on stocks, which you can see reflected in the share prices in the high pre-market indications of the major ETF’s, closed-end funds, and active ADR’s listed below.
