“Markets were range-bound throughout the session as investors continued to trade with caution ahead of the Budget announcement, while weak European and Asian cues also weighed on the sentiment. There are a lot of expectations from this Budget and investors don’t want to rush into buying stocks, and hence they are in a wait and watch mode,” says Prashanth Tapse, senior V-P (research), Mehta Equities.
Vaibhav Vidwani, research analyst at Bonanza Portfolio, said that “Sensex was marginally up. Robust results reported by realty companies brought optimism in realty stocks. Surge in US treasury yields on rising expectations that Donald Trump may be re-elected as the President of the United States in the upcoming elections in November and Fed Chair Powell stated that Q2 inflation data may add some degree of confidence about inflation rate is sustainably returning to the Feds target of 2 per cent, brought optimism in global and domestic market.”
