Summary

India's Union Budget was presented on 1 February 2025. The stock market opened on Saturday was very excited, but the stock market fell even before the budget was over, and the closing of that day was also in red. After that, there was a decline in the Indian stock markets on Monday as well.

But on Tuesday, February 4, the stock market showed new enthusiasm, and the Sensex jumped 700 points and the Nifty started showing a gain of 200 points. The question is why the stock market, which fell during the budget and the next trading session, is rising today.

So let us tell you that the improvement in global markets, strengthening of the rupee, and the expectation of a cut in interest rates by the RBI have boosted the morale of investors.
