Indian benchmark indices BSE Sensex and NSE’s Nifty 50 are expected to extend losses on Monday after several Budget proposals such as no action on LTCG and hike in customs duty spooked investors. The two indices declined about 2.5 percent on the special trading session on Saturday.
Selloffs in global markets amid fears of coronavirus in China may also weigh on Indian shares. Chinese markets will reopen today following the Lunar New Year break.
