The Indian stock market experienced a positive opening on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, with both the Sensex and Nifty indices trading higher. This upward trend was supported by renewed foreign portfolio investor (FPI) buying and overall strength in the broader market indices.

The Nifty 50 index began the day at 25,922.65, marking a gain of 55.35 points, or 0.21 percent. Meanwhile, the BSE Sensex opened at 84,210, up by 144.25 points, or 0.17 percent.

Market expert Ajay Bagga noted that the positive opening could lead to further market consolidation, as FPIs have become net buyers in February. He also highlighted that broader Indian indices were outperforming the mainboard indices. Expectations of increased business activity following the US-India framework deal on trade have boosted several sectors. Sectors such as textiles, gems and jewellery, auto parts, and public sector unit (PSU) banks have particularly benefited from these expectations.

On February 10, 2026, data from the National Stock Exchange (NSE) showed FII inflows of Rs 2,254.6 crore and DII inflows of Rs 4.2 crore in the cash market. The broader market exhibited widespread gains, with the Nifty 100 rising by 0.20 percent, the Nifty Midcap 100 gaining 0.20 percent, and the Nifty Smallcap 100 surging by 0.46 percent, indicating strong participation beyond frontline stocks.

Sectorally, trends were mixed. Nifty Auto increased by 0.24 percent, Nifty Pharma rose by 0.5 percent, and Nifty PSU Bank saw a gain of 0.23 percent. However, some sectors experienced slight declines, with FMCG down by 0.02 percent, IT slipping 0.21 percent, and Metal easing by 0.02 percent.
