Yesterday morning, the market opened with a gain of about 450 points and jumped up to 1200 points amid the budget speech of the Finance Minister. But as soon as the budget announcements came down, there was a sudden big sell-off in the market and after jumping 1,223 points, the market closed with a gain of only 158 points.

Talking about yesterday's trade, the 30-share BSE benchmark Sensex rose 158.18 points or 0.27 per cent to close at 59,708.08. It had risen 2 percent to Rs 60,773.44 at the time of presentation of the budget during the day. In contrast, the NSE Nifty closed at 17,616.30, down 45.85 points or 0.26 per cent.

According to traders, expectations were high in the market due to announcements of thrust on consumption and capex, due to which the market showed an uptrend. But in the last hours of trading, the decline of Adani Group again dominated the market and the market collapsed.
