Tuesday’s session may see considerable volatility as investors track Parliamentary developments. The Budget Session of the Parliament will begin today with the Economic Survey of 2022-23 being tables. The Union Budget of 2023-24 will be presented on Feb 1.
Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, said: “The Budget tomorrow and the Fed decision on interest rates by evening tomorrow will have a big impact on markets. A positive, as we go into the Budget, is that instead of the usual pre-Budget rally on expectations, this time we had a market correction. So, if there are no negative surprises in the Budget and the Fed commentary is not hawkish, there can be a post-Budget rally in the market.”
“There has been overreaction in banking stocks with Bank Nifty correcting sharply by 6.2% in the last 3 sessions. High quality banking stocks present a good buying opportunity. Signals from the US indicate that Indian IT will do well in 2023,” he added.
