Benchmark equity indices Sensex and Nifty extended their gains for the second straight session on Monday (February 9, 2026), driven by optimism over the India-U.S. trade deal and robust buying in public sector banks, consumer durables, and realty stocks.
The 30-share BSE Sensex jumped 485.35 points, or 0.58%, to close at 84,065.75. During the day, the benchmark surged 734.28 points, or 0.87%, to hit an intraday high of 84,314.68.
The 50-share NSE Nifty appreciated by 173.60 points, or 0.68%, to settle at 25,867.30. During the session, the index climbed 228.55 points, or 0.88%, to hit a high of 25,922.25.
Among the 30-share constituents, State Bank of India, Titan, UltraTech Cement, Tata Steel, Eternal, Bharat Electronics Ltd, Kotak Mahindra Bank, IndiGo, Trent, Mahindra & Mahindra, Larsen & Toubro, Sun Pharmaceuticals, and Asian Paints were the gainers.
On the other hand, PowerGrid, NTPC, ITC, ICICI Bank, Infosys, HDFC Bank, Tech Mahindra, Maruti Suzuki India and Axis Bank were the laggards.
“Positive signals from the trade deal, coupled with the return of FIIs, fuelled a risk-on sentiment in the market. Investors are closely watching upcoming results, with PSU banks delivering stronger-than-anticipated performance, helping the PSU bank index outperform,” Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Ltd, said.
He added that an accumulation strategy was observed in consumer durables and real estate stocks following the recent correction, driven by expectations of a demand revival.
“The recovery was broad-based, with sectors such as cement, capital goods, textiles, and consumer discretionary attracting investor interest, supported by union budget proposals and favourable trade deals,” Mr. Nair said.
In Asian markets, Japan’s Nikkei 225 index, South Korea’s Kospi, Shanghai’s SSE Composite index and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index closed higher.
European markets were quoting higher. U.S. markets ended higher on Friday (February 6, 2026).
