Commenting on Wednesday's session, S Ranganathan, Head of Research at LKP Securities, said "Markets witnessed a 2 per cent cut in Indices today even as the IMF put out an impressive 11.5 per cent growth for India in 2021, the highest for any major economy globally. Autos, Metals and Financials bore the brunt of selling as we saw unwinding ahead of the Union Budget. Absence of FII buying this week too added to the nervousness in Wednesday's afternoon trade".
