Fifteen of the sixteen major NSE sectors ended higher.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key statistics and market breadth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Advances vs. declines:<\/strong> Market breadth was strong; roughly 15 of 16 sectoral indices<\/strong> closed in the green. In the broader market over 140 stocks<\/strong> hit fresh 52\u2011week highs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • PSU bank dominance:<\/strong> The PSU Bank index<\/strong> jumped 3.3 %<\/strong>, the top\u2011performing sector. Strong Q3 earnings from State Bank of India<\/strong> (+7.5 %) drove the rally, with peers like Indian Bank, Bank of India and Canara Bank up 1\u20133 %.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Mid\u2011caps & small\u2011caps:<\/strong> The Nifty Midcap 100<\/strong> and Nifty Smallcap 100<\/strong> outperformed, rising 1.6 %<\/strong> and 2.65 %<\/strong> respectively, supported by better\u2011than\u2011expected earnings and renewed risk appetite.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • FII\/DII activity:<\/strong> Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) turned net buyers in the cash segment after weeks of selling; they bought over \u20b92,600 crore<\/strong> of equities since the start of February. Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) continued to support the market.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Volatility:<\/strong> Despite the gap\u2011up open, volatility stayed elevated amid global uncertainties. Options data shows heavy open interest at 25,500 (puts) and 26,000 (calls), creating a near\u2011term range for the Nifty.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Analysis – What moved the market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. India-US trade framework:<\/strong> Over the weekend India and the United States announced an interim trade framework that cuts reciprocal tariffs to roughly 18 %<\/strong> and grants preferential quotas for sectors such as automotive parts, jewellery and pharmaceuticals. Export\u2011oriented stocks (gems & jewellery, textiles, seafood, aerospace suppliers) jumped on the expectation of improved US market access. Auto component makers and pharma exporters rallied, lifting sectoral indices. Investors saw the deal as a precursor to a comprehensive trade pact, boosting sentiment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Return of foreign investors:<\/strong> After sustained selling in January, FIIs turned net buyers this month. Data shows net purchases of \u20b92,645 crore<\/strong> in the first week of February. The infusion of foreign capital improved liquidity and supported large\u2011cap stocks. Combined with solid domestic flows, this gave markets the muscle to absorb supply.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Strong corporate earnings:<\/strong> State Bank of India<\/strong> reported 24 %<\/strong> YoY growth in Q3 net profit (\u20b921,028 crore) and raised its loan\u2011growth guidance. The stock rallied ~7.5 %<\/strong>, driving PSU bank index gains. Positive earnings from mid\u2011cap and small\u2011cap firms also underpinned broad\u2011market strength.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Global cues:<\/strong> A robust rebound in global equities added to the risk\u2011on tone.\n
        \n
      • United States:<\/strong> The Dow Jones Industrial Average crossed 50,000<\/strong> for the first time and the S&P 500 stayed firm, helped by strong gains in semiconductor names like Nvidia. Wall Street\u2019s recovery signalled that investors were looking past worries over elevated technology valuations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Europe:<\/strong> The Stoxx 600 rose about 0.2\u20130.5 %<\/strong> as investors digested corporate earnings (e.g., UniCredit) and a bounce in technology shares.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Asia:<\/strong> The MSCI Asia Pacific index rallied over 2 %<\/strong>, led by Japanese stocks after Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi\u2019s landslide election victory raised hopes of pro\u2011reflation policies. South Korean and Hong Kong markets also traded higher. A weaker US dollar and stable crude oil prices supported risk appetite.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Macro stability and outlook:<\/strong> Moody\u2019s forecast for India\u2019s FY 2027 GDP growth at 6.4 %<\/strong> (the fastest among G\u201120 economies) reassured investors about long\u2011term prospects. Analysts anticipate earnings upgrades for FY 26\u201327, and robust domestic consumption should cushion any external shocks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Sector rotation and short\u2011covering:<\/strong> After weeks of consolidation, traders covered shorts in heavyweight stocks. Sectors that had lagged, such as metals and real estate, saw renewed buying. High open interest in call options around 26,000 and put options at 25,500 indicates traders positioning for an upward range but bracing for volatility.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Global and domestic cues to watch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • US economic data:<\/strong> A key US labour market report is due later in the week. Hints about wage growth and employment could influence Federal Reserve rate expectations and global risk sentiment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Global technology sentiment:<\/strong> Continued jitters around artificial\u2011intelligence investments (\u201cAnthropic shock\u201d) may keep IT stocks volatile.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Oil prices:<\/strong> India\u2019s purchase of additional crude from Venezuela and West Africa helps cushion supply shocks. However, geopolitical tensions or unexpected OPEC decisions could re\u2011ignite energy price volatility.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • FII flows:<\/strong> Sustained foreign buying will be essential to maintain momentum. Any reversal could trigger profit\u2011taking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Stocks to watch (corporate updates)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • State Bank of India (SBI):<\/strong> Reported 24 % YoY rise in Q3 profit and raised loan growth guidance; the stock hit a record high. PSU lenders rallied in sympathy. Brokerage targets range from \u20b91,235 to \u20b91,300 per share.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • IREDA:<\/strong> Approved a \u20b92,994 crore fund\u2011raising plan via qualified institutional placement to strengthen its capital base for renewable\u2011energy financing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Tata Steel:<\/strong> Delivered consolidated net profit of \u20b92,689 crore in Q3 (a 723 % YoY surge) due to improved steel spreads. Brokerage houses raised target prices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Reliance Industries:<\/strong> Its consumer\u2011products arm acquired Australia\u2011based Goodness Group Global, expanding into the health\u2011beverage segment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Aurobindo Pharma:<\/strong> US FDA inspected the Eugia Pharma Specialities Unit III facility; investors will monitor observations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Force Motors:<\/strong> Signed an agreement to acquire 100 %<\/strong> stake in Veera Tanneries for \u20b9175 crore; the stock hit a 52\u2011week high.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Kalyan Jewellers:<\/strong> Reported Q3 net profit growth of 90.2 %<\/strong> YoY to \u20b9416.3 crore and revenue growth of 42.1 %<\/strong>, driven by festive demand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • BEML:<\/strong> Board approved investment of \u20b91,500 crore<\/strong> to set up a greenfield rail manufacturing facility (BRAHMA) in Madhya Pradesh.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • BSE Ltd.:<\/strong> Shares gained ahead of its Q3 results announcement, reflecting expectations of strong earnings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Other movers:<\/strong> Apex Frozen Foods and Avanti Feeds rallied after the trade deal; diamond & gemstone exporters jumped on tariff cuts; AXISCADES Tech gained on an order win from Hindustan Aeronautics; JK Tyre shares rallied on strong Q3 results.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Technical levels and outlook for tomorrow (Tuesday, 10 February 2026)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            • Nifty 50 technical levels:<\/strong>\n
                \n
              • Support:<\/strong> The Nifty has strong support around 25,500<\/strong> (highest put\u2010option open interest) and deeper support in the 25,000\u201325,200<\/strong> zone, which coincides with the 200\u2011day EMA and 80 % retracement of the recent up\u2011move.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Resistance:<\/strong> Immediate resistance lies at 26,000<\/strong> (highest call\u2011option open interest). A sustained move above 25,800<\/strong> could open the door to 26,000<\/strong> and then 26,350<\/strong> in the near term. Failure to hold above 25,830<\/strong> may invite selling pressure towards 25,500<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Bank Nifty levels:<\/strong> The banking index has immediate support at 59,500\u201359,200<\/strong> (confluence of 20\u2011 and 50\u2011day EMAs) and short\u2011term support at 58,500\u201358,000<\/strong> (100\u2011day EMA and bullish gap). Upside targets are 60,700<\/strong> and 61,200<\/strong> if the index maintains above support.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Market tone for tomorrow:<\/strong>\n
                  \n
                • Bias:<\/strong> The short\u2011term bias remains positive to range\u2011bound<\/strong>. As long as Nifty stays above 25,500<\/strong>, dips are expected to attract buying.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Drivers:<\/strong> Traders will watch for follow\u2011through buying in PSU banks and export\u2011oriented sectors as more details of the India\u2013US trade framework emerge. Profit\u2011taking cannot be ruled out after the recent run\u2011up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Volatility:<\/strong> Options positioning suggests the market may consolidate within the 25,500\u201326,000<\/strong> range in the absence of major news. Global cues, especially US economic data and comments from Federal Reserve officials, could trigger swings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Strategy:<\/strong> Investors may look to accumulate quality large caps on dips and focus on stock\u2011specific opportunities linked to earnings and corporate actions. Traders should maintain tight stops around the mentioned support levels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                  Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                  The Indian equity market kicked off the week with a risk\u2011on rally<\/strong>, driven by an interim India\u2013US trade deal<\/strong> that cuts tariffs and promises greater export opportunities, a return of foreign institutional inflows<\/strong>, and robust corporate earnings<\/strong>-notably from State Bank of India<\/strong>. The Nifty 50<\/strong> closed at 25,867.30<\/strong> (+0.68 %) and the Sensex<\/strong> at 84,065.75<\/strong> (+0.58 %), while broader markets outperformed. Nearly all sectoral indices gained, with PSU banks, pharma and healthcare<\/strong> leading the charge. Despite strong momentum, technical indicators and options data suggest that the market could consolidate between 25,500 and 26,000<\/strong> in the short term. Traders should monitor global cues, especially US economic data and technology sentiment, while investors can focus on stock\u2011specific developments highlighted above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
