Sensex, Nifty Rise Today As Foreign Money Keeps Flowing In

Sensex and Nifty opened higher on Tuesday as steady foreign inflows and positive global cues supported the Indian stock market. Early trade showed calm buying, with most sectors trading in the green and investor mood looking stable, not rushed.

Indian equity markets started the day on a firm note, helped by strength in US markets and steady foreign participation. The mood felt supportive rather than aggressive, which often helps markets hold gains longer.

Early Market Numbers Show Mild Strength

By 9.28 am, the Sensex was up 182 points, reaching 84,247. The Nifty added around 50 points to trade near 25,917. These gains may look small, but they matter because they came after a strong session on Monday.

Midcap and smallcap stocks also moved in line with the main indices. The Nifty Midcap 100 gained slightly, while the Nifty Smallcap 100 rose more than half a percent. This shows buying interest was not limited to only big stocks.

All Sectors Trade Green, No Major Pressure

One positive sign was sectoral performance. Every sectoral index traded higher in early deals. Consumer durables stocks led the move, followed by realty and metal stocks. ONGC was among the notable gainers, supporting the energy space.

When most sectors move together, it usually signals comfort among investors. There was no panic selling visible, which keeps volatility under control.

Why Foreign Inflows Matter So Much Right Now

Foreign institutional investors continued to buy Indian equities. On February 9, FIIs bought shares worth over Rs 2,200 crore. Domestic institutions were also net buyers, though in a smaller amount.

This steady foreign interest gives confidence to the market. It suggests global investors are still positive on India’s growth story, even when other markets show mixed signals.

Global Markets Offer Mixed But Helpful Cues

Asian markets showed a mixed picture. Japan’s Nikkei jumped sharply, while China’s Shanghai and Shenzhen indices saw small losses. Hong Kong and South Korea traded slightly higher.

US markets ended the previous session in the green. The Nasdaq gained nearly one percent, while the S&P 500 and Dow Jones also closed higher. These cues helped Indian markets open without stress.

India–US Trade Talk Optimism Lifts Sentiment

Another factor supporting the market is optimism around the interim India–US trade framework. The announcement earlier helped markets rally strongly on Monday, and that positive feeling has not faded yet.

Investors see this as a sign of improving trade relations, which can benefit exports, investments, and overall economic confidence. Even short term clarity helps market direction.

Support And Resistance Levels To Watch

Market watchers are closely tracking technical levels. Immediate support for the Nifty is seen between 25,500 and 25,700. As long as this zone holds, downside risk looks limited.

On the upside, resistance is placed near the 26,000 to 26,100 range. If the Nifty crosses this zone with volume, markets may attempt another upward move, though it may not happen in one straight line.

Monday’s Rally Sets A Strong Base

On Monday, Indian markets posted strong gains after the trade framework announcement. The Sensex rose nearly 485 points to close above 84,000. The Nifty gained over 170 points and settled near 25,867.

That rally created a solid base. Tuesday’s calm and steady opening suggests the market is digesting gains rather than reversing them.

What This Means For Investors Today

The current setup shows stability more than excitement. Foreign inflows, global support, and broad-based buying are positive signs. At the same time, resistance levels may limit sharp upside in the near term.

For now, the market tone remains supportive. As long as global cues stay steady and foreign money keeps coming in, Sensex and Nifty are likely to trade with a positive bias, even if moves stay moderate.
