An evening walk down Dalal Street on December 11, 2018

In what was anticipated to be a day of bloodbath on D-Street, a trend reversal in the last few hours of trade helped Indian shares close on a positive note.

An abrupt resignation by RBI governor Urjjit Patel late on Monday, along with jitters among investors who bet on a stable government added to the negative sentiment.

In fact, overnight, the Nifty futures on Singaporean Exchange fell 450 point as well, bracing investors for a similar impact here.

However, some clarity emerging on single party getting a majority in all states could have aided sentiment on the markets.
