Mumbai: In the Union Budget of the NDA government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced the expected increase in capital gains tax for the stock markets and an increase in the Securities Transaction Tax-STT to prevent losses of retail traders. After a week of turmoil in the stock markets, F&O trading saw a historic record rise over the weekend. With the Prime Minister's call for a developed India, moving forward strongly and focusing on employment and growth in the rural economy, along with the decisions and provisions announced in the agriculture sector, retail investors along with institutional investors have bought heavily last week. As a result, the Nifty has created a new history of 24861. While the Sensex has touched a record high of 81427. The rally gained momentum over the weekend and FPI-foreign portfolio investors also became net buyers of stocks along with local funds. Foreign funds have resumed heavy buying in stocks, regretting missing out on being a part of India's growth story and benefiting from it. Despite the threat of heavy rains in some areas, the monsoon is performing well overall, coupled with the positive factor that economic growth will pick up in the coming days, stocks have rebounded. While corporate results of many companies have also been good, funds in stocks have again become aggressive in buying small and mid cap stocks. Of course, given the magnitude of the rally and the excesses often witnessed, it would be advisable to be cautious in stock selection and avoid buying any weak stock on a whim.
