The Indian market opened on a positive note today following global optimism and also closed on a positive note with Nifty closing at 25,935.15 (+0.26%) while Sensex closed at 84,273.92 (+0.24%). Midcap and smallcap indices have outperformed today as well. Sector wise, Metal and Auto saw upside while healthcare and pharma were the laggards. Eternal and Tata Steel were among the top performers in Nifty 50 while HCL Tech and Bajaj Finance saw declines today.

Following the US-India trade deal optimism, FIIs have become buyers from few trading sessions with a major inflow of Rs. 2258 crore yesterday providing support to the market while the DIIs have relatively slowed down. Continuing on the trade deal, textile sector can face some pressure following the US Bangladesh trade deal with US slashing the tariffs on them to 19% from 20%.

Along with this, any goods which is produced using American cotton and man-made textile will see zero duties providing a significant edge over Indian textiles. Bangladesh is also one of the major cotton imported. Following the falling relation between India and Bangladesh, this deal is expected to be another bad news for the Indian cotton exporters. This deal will have an adverse impact on both the textile sector and cotton exporter market of India.

Today, the benchmark indices continued their positive momentum, with the Nifty ending higher by 68 points and the Sensex rising by 208 points. Among sectors, almost all the major sectoral indices witnessed positive momentum, but the Capital Market index outperformed, rallying over 2.70 percent.

Technically, after a promising uptrend, the market has formed a Doji candle pattern on the daily charts, indicating indecisiveness between the bulls and bears.

We are of the view that the short-term market outlook remains positive, but there could be a quick intraday dip if the index slips below 25,900/84100. Below this level, the market could retest the levels of 50 day SMA ( Simple Moving Average) or 25,800-25,750/83700-83500.

On the higher side, 26,000/84500 would be the immediate resistance zone for the bulls. A successful breakout above 26,000/84500 could push the market up to 26,100-26,150/84800-85000.

The benchmark Nifty index spent Tuesday’s session moving within a narrow 119 point band, marking its tightest intraday range since 1 January 2026. This subdued movement reflects a clear loss of directional conviction in the near term. For the second straight session, the index has formed a small bodied candle with shadows on both ends, a classic sign of indecision and equilibrium between bulls and bears.

Despite this lack of momentum, the Nifty has managed to extend its winning streak to three consecutive sessions, supported by its ability to sustain above key moving averages. However, momentum oscillators continue to paint a picture of sideways consolidation, hinting that traders may be waiting for a stronger catalyst.

Within the Nifty basket, Eternal and Tata Steel emerged as the top performers, contributing positively to the index’s stability. In contrast, HCL Technologies and Bajaj Finance were among the major drags, reflecting pockets of profit booking in technology and financial names. The mixed stock specific performance highlights the ongoing rotation across sectors as the market searches for fresh leadership. Among sectoral indices, the tone remained uneven. Nifty Media and Nifty Auto outperformed, benefiting from selective buying interest and domestic growth sentiment. On the other hand, Nifty Pharma and Nifty Healthcare closed lower.

The broader indices, however, continued to shine. Both the Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap 100 indices have been strongly outperforming the frontline index over the past couple of sessions, underscoring robust participation from broader market investors. The advance–decline ratio was marginally in favour of advancers, reflecting healthier sentiment outside the large cap universe and confirming that market breadth remains on the positive side despite the Nifty’s muted movement.

Nifty View

Going ahead, for Nifty, the zone of 26050-26100 will act as an immediate hurdle. Any sustainable move above the 26100 will lead to a further upside rally upto the 26250 level. On the flip side, the zone of 25800-25770 will act as crucial support for the index.

Bank Nifty View

The banking benchmark index Bank Nifty has traded in a narrow range of 266 points, which was the lowest daily range since 1st January 2026. Also, it has formed a small body candle, which suggests a lack of commitment from both bulls and bears.

Going ahead, the zone of 60900-61000 will act as an immediate hurdle for the index. Any sustainable move above 61000 will lead to a further upside rally upto the 61500, followed by 62000 in the short-term. On the downside, the zone of 60100-60000 will act as crucial support for the index.

Domestic equities continued their upward momentum, supported by the US trade agreement and positive cues from key Asian markets. A strong resurgence in FII inflows, coupled with rupee appreciation, is further bolstering the investor sentiment, although intermittent profit-booking was visible across sectors.

With tariff-related concerns largely easing, the near-term market trajectory will hinge on Q3 earnings, which have been mixed and below expectations so far. Investors are now focused on the combined impact of recent fiscal and monetary measures to revive earnings momentum in the coming quarters.

Nifty continued to scale higher amidst choppy movement on Tuesday and closed the day higher by 67 points. After opening on a positive note, the market was not able to sustain the highs and later shifted into a range bound action for better part of the session. Nifty faced stiff resistance around 26000 levels which is a mid part of long red candle of 3rd Feb and closed the day off the highs.

A small red candle was formed on the daily chart with minor upper and lower shadow. Technically, this market action signals a formation of high wave type candle pattern, which echoes minor volatility in the market at the highs.

The underlying trend of Nifty continues to be positive amidst range bound movement. A decisive move above the resistance of 26000 levels could open more upside towards 26350 levels in the near term. Immediate support is placed at 25800.

The Indian rupee appreciates alongside its Asian peers, bolstered by the softening US dollar and the announcement of the India-US interim trade accord. This upward trajectory is further reinforced by a pivot in investor sentiment, as foreign institutional funds have turned net buyers in domestic equities and bonds this month.

Supported by cooling commodity prices and enhanced risk appetite, the USDINR is expected to consolidate within 90.05 and 91.10.

Indian rupee ended higher by 18 paise at 90.58 per dollar on Tuesday versus previous close of 90.76.

Indian equity markets continued their upward momentum, closing higher for the third consecutive session on February 10.

At close, the Sensex was up 208.17 points or 0.25 percent at 84,273.92, and the Nifty was up 67.85 points or 0.26 percent at 25,935.15. About 2456 shares advanced, 1605 shares declined, and 155 shares unchanged.

The Nifty Midcap and Smallcap indices also advanced 0.4 percent each.

Bullions, especially gold and silver, sparkled higher and saw extraordinary moves in the equity markets, which had underperformed for the past 12 months.

Compared to their average collections over the preceding 12 months, gold and silver ETFs saw record inflows, and multi-asset schemes also saw this phenomenon.

With the exception of flexi cap schemes, all actively managed equity schemes displayed a significant slowing in collections.

Due to high valuations, sluggish corporate results, uncertainty that prevailed surrounding trade agreements with the US in January 2026, currency depreciation, and ongoing FII selling, Indian benchmarks (Sensex and Nifty) have recently underperformed the MSCI developing market index by a significant margin of 20%+.

The latest AMFI report shows a 14% month-on-month decline in equity mutual fund inflows to ₹24,028 crore. This trend is not entirely surprising. Over the past several months, equity markets have delivered muted returns, while commodities—especially gold and silver—have seen strong momentum. As a result, a portion of investor money shifted toward commodities during this period.

During this phase, the broader advice to investors was to remain invested in equities and, where additional liquidity was available, tactically allocate some portion to gold and silver to benefit from the ongoing commodity rally.

Looking ahead, the scenario appears to be stabilizing. The sharp rally in gold and silver is now moderating, with limited upside compared to earlier months. At the same time, equity markets seem to have absorbed much of the range-bound movement witnessed over the past year. This creates a more favorable base for equities to move forward.

Compared to last month’s data, we can expect equity mutual fund inflows to gradually improve as investor interest returns to the equity segment. With valuations becoming more reasonable and market consolidation largely behind us, equities are well-positioned for a stronger performance in the current calendar year, with the potential for meaningful returns as sentiment and participation improve.

By severely underallocating to large-caps, investors missed the opportunity to gain from the significantly mispriced large-cap financial and other stocks.

Investors continued allocating to Gold ETFs at significantly elevated gold prices which might turn out to be a mistake in the long-term. However, it was heartening to see the large equity allocation going to flexicaps which gives the fund managers the capital to allocate to the mispriced stocks, including in large caps or other segments.

Multi-asset funds continue attracting more capital than flexicaps showing that investor behaviour turns more cautious exactly when the opportunity is the highest in equities. Demonstrating recency bias, reacting to past returns rather than future expected returns of asset classes.
