Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is going to present Union budget today.Amidst the financial challenges country is facing today, the budget is considered to be very important.
The share market has also shown some negative signs before the budget is presented.This is the reason why the Sensex fell more than 200 points in its initial trade, while the Nifty dropped by 130 points to below 11 thousand 900.
Due to the presentation of the budget today, trading is being done in the stock market on weekly holidays i.e. Saturday.
