Markets witnessed selling on the final day of the week, which wiped out most of the weekly gains and forced markets to settle with meager gains as traders avoided to take any fresh positions ahead of union budget. The coming week will be an eventful one with Budget on Tuesday which will likely dictate the next stage of the market move. Anticipation is high for continued government focus on infrastructure spending, rural development, and initiatives to support lower-income groups. Additionally, tax breaks for the middle class are also a possibility, all of which could provide a significant economic stimulus. There could be increased taxes on speculative income as regulators are getting extremely worried about heightened speculative activity in the market.
Despite volatility, the outlook for market remains robust and last round of selling is expected to get exhausted in a day or two as monthly candle has turned a bullish one.
