The markets ended lower on Budget day with the Sensex falling 58 points to 35,906; Nifty settled at 11,016. The Sensex had started falling while Finance Minister Arun Jaitley was speaking about the farm sector in his Union Budget 2018 speech just after 11 am. It later rose and settled in the green territory as the Budget did not appear to disrupt the industry, except for upward revision of fiscal deficit from 3.2 to 3.3 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
