The Union Budget 2021 is a boon for the equity market with all the essential aspects of growth supported by an increase in government spending without an increase in indirect taxes. Proposal for the privatisation of 2 PSU banks and measures to curb the impact of NPAs helped the banking index to lead the soaring rally. Higher government spending in Infrastructure and increased FDI limit in Insurance improved the overall outlook of these sectors. Although Cess can have a marginal impact on the related sectors, the budget provides incentives to generate wealth in the economy without providing a high burden on households and private sectors.

BANKNIFTY has been bucking the trend since last couple of sessions, while the broader market was correcting brutally. This outperformance has now turned into a leadership and hence, staying beyond 33000, unfolds fresh leg of the rally for the banking index. Above this, next levels to watch would be 34500-35000.
