Stock market strategy for Budget 2024: Despite the recent dip in the Indian stock market following weak global market cues on rising tension in the US-China trade war, there is still potential for growth. The Nifty 50 index was down over 125 points, the BSE Sensex nosedived around 400 points, and the Nifty Bank index corrected over 300 points during early morning deals. However, this is not a cause for alarm but rather an opportunity for strategic investment.

According to experts, the Indian stock market has witnessed a trend reversal after sharp selling on Friday. They said the trend may continue till Tuesday as the market is waiting for the Union Budget 2024 by the Modi 3.0 Government. The Union Budget 2024 is a significant event in the financial calendar as it outlines the government’s fiscal policies and spending plans for the upcoming year. They said global cues are harmful due to rising tension in the US-China trade war. They said that investors can look at companies that have worked on expanding their CAPEX in recent quarters. They said that the Union Budget is expected to remain a growth-oriented budget, which means railway, infrastructure, energy, oil and power, auto, and banking are prominent segments where one can easily find such listed companies.
