Two important events are due this week: the interim Budget and the Fed meeting on rate decision. But these events are unlikely to impact the market in a big way, says V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services.

The Budget will be a vote on account without major announcements capable of impacting the market, he said.

Regarding the Fed decision, no rate cut is expected, but the commentary will be keenly watched.

The turbulence in the Red Sea is turning out to be a serious issue. Brent crude has spiked to $83, he added.
