2015 Pre Budget Rally: What are the brokerages recommending

After a few days of weakness the market has resumed its upward journey. As on February 12 end of day, Nifty has reclaimed the psychologically important 8,700 level and is now marching towards the 8,800 level. Whether this marks the beginning of the pre-budget rally, only the next few trading sessions will tell. However, the budget will be an important event for the market, as it always is, but more so this year and it will certainly trigger a major move. The chart below shows the year to date daily price chart of Nifty.

The above chart shows that Nifty made its all time high on January 29 close to 9,000 points. After a period of consolidation, Nifty has resumed its upward journey towards its all time high. Experts believe the rally is likely to continue till the Union Budget, unless we get adverse global cues.
