Markets Rebound in Early Trade
The stock market in India had a good start on Monday.
The Sensex and Nifty, which are like report cards for the market, went up.
This happened because people started buying shares of big companies after they had fallen a lot on Budget day.
The Budget, which is like a plan for the country's money, was announced on Sunday.
It talked about helping factories, data centers, farming, and tourism.
But some changes in taxes made the market drop a bit before it recovered.
Also, factories in India are doing better in January, but they are not very confident about the future.
The price of oil also went down.
Sensex climbed 302 points to 81,024.94, Nifty rose 59.25 points to 24,884.70 in early trade.
Budget announced measures to boost manufacturing, data centers, agriculture, and tourism.
Securities transaction tax hike on equity derivatives caused initial market drop.
Manufacturing PMI rebounded to 55.4 in January, driven by domestic demand.
Brent crude oil price dropped 4.14% to USD 66.45 per barrel.
