Experts feel the market may remain range bound ahead of expiry of February
derivative contracts due on February 25 and Union Budget that is scheduled to
be announced on February 29. Investor concerns currently are veering toward the
Budget as there are obvious worries with respect to rumours of the definition
of long-term capital gains period being changed, says C Jayaram of Kotak
Mahindra Bank. However, consensus view is that the Budget will be largely
positive as expectations are low. Jayaram says, post the Budget, there is a
possibility that the market may form a firm bottom on the back of feel-good
factor and then move ahead.
