there is a lot of foreign institutional investor (FII) interest in fixed income

1:15 pm Market
outlook: The expectations from the Union Budget 2015-16 have come off
slightly in the past few days, says Pratik Gupta, head of equities, Deutsche
Bank. Speaking, Gupta says the Union Budget is expected to be growth-oriented,
just like the Railway Budget, but long-term investors are more worried about
the pending legislations. However, investors are positive on the Indian equity
market given the global backdrop, commodity prices and flow of funds. “So, we
would recommend buying the Indian market on every dip. India will see a good
recovery though the timing of the recovery is not clear,” he adds.

Crude oil futures rebounded on Friday, with Brent heading
for its biggest monthly gain since May 2009, as supply outages in the North Sea
and renewed fears of gas supply disruption in Europe supported prices. A
reduction in rig counts and expectations for better oil demand have helped
Brent prices rise by around 15 percent so far this month from January's close
of $52.99.
