  • Budget 2026: NSE, BSE Open for Special Trading Session Amid Union Budget Presentation

The National Stock Exchange (NSE) and BSE will hold a special trading session on February 1, coinciding with Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's presentation of the 2026-27 Union Budget. While equity markets are set to open higher, debt and forex markets will remain closed. Analysts anticipate the budget to focus on public capital expenditure, export sector support amid US tariffs, and increased defence spending to boost domestic manufacturing. The Nifty 50, showing a 7.8% gain since last budget, has underperformed Asian peers due to foreign fund outflows and subdued earnings.
