Experts Opinion
On a weekly note, relative to commentary on the pre budget market expectations, Jimeet Modi, Founder & CEO, SAMCO Securities & StockNote, stated, "The lackluster vibe before the Budget can be the calm before the storm and markets are expected to remain muted and sideways but there is likelihood of downward pressure. The auto sector is at the tipping point. Depending on how the Government provides support, these stocks will either revive or fall off the cliff. Other sectors which are likely to benefit from the Budget would clearly be low cost housing, agriculture and infrastructure as the Government knows very well the multiplier effect to attain the growth and employment targets. Investors should still follow a wait and watch approach. "
