In this episode of BreakOut by 5paisa, we track India’s merchandise trade deficit widening to a record $34.68 billion in January, driven by a spike in gold and silver imports.

Markets rebounded in the previous session after a two-day decline, while derivatives data showed a sharp jump in the Put-Call Ratio and volatility levels remained elevated.
