Sensex averaged a 0.35% gain on Budget day, with volatility and sharp swings common. Nifty's performance mirrored this, with low single-digit average changes. Notably, the week following the Budget speeches typically saw stronger gains: Sensex rose in 11 of 15 weeks post-Budget, averaging a 1% increase, while Nifty gained in 12 of 15 weeks, averaging 1.10%. Over three months, both indices had a 9 out of 15 success rate, posting average gains of 6.77% for Sensex and 7.40% for Nifty during up phases. Markets tend to rebound strongly after pre-Budget corrections of over 3%, signaling mean reversion. Overall, while Budget day remains volatile, investors benefit from staging purchases in the following weeks.
