The Indian stock market ended sharply higher on Monday, 9 February 2026, as positive global cues and optimism surrounding the India–US trade deal boosted investor sentiment. The BSE Sensex climbed 485 points, while the NSE Nifty 50 crossed 25,850, marking a robust start to the week for Dalal Street.
Market gains were broad-based, led by Titan, UltraTech Cement, and SBI, with strong buying in financial, metal, and realty stocks. Consumer and private banking shares also saw healthy inflows, while FMCG stocks slightly capped the rally. On the other hand, heavyweights like Infosys, HDFC Bank, and Reliance Industries slipped, partially offsetting the upside.
Among notable movers, Kalyan Jewellers surged 10% to hit the upper circuit after posting strong Q3 earnings, with brokerages projecting a potential 80% upside from current levels. Conversely, Power Finance Corporation (PFC) and REC shares fell up to 4% after PFC approved an in-principle merger with REC, in line with government plans to restructure major public sector NBFCs.
Global markets supported domestic sentiment, with S&P 500 futures up 0.1%, Japan’s Topix rising 2.4%, and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng climbing 1.3%. The rupee strengthened 21 paise to 90.44 against the US dollar, while gold prices in major cities remained stable, with 24-carat gold trading around ₹1,25,000 per 8 grams.
Overall, the day reflected investor confidence on trade optimism and strong global trends, with selective profit booking in IT, pharma, and auto sectors.
