In the immediate term, market attention is expected to be concentrated on the upcoming Union budget and monsoon season. On a global scale, the decline in US bond rates has enabled considerable FII inflows in recent days. Fertilizer stocks increased considerably, driven by the projected GST reduction and MSP increases.
