Markets tend to be especially volatile during and leading up to election season. Speculations, analyses by psephologists, exit polls, and political rhetoric, among other factors, tend to create significant uncertainty in the equity markets. As exit polls did not match election outcomes, the market saw a more drastic decline on Tuesday.
