The Hindu
Sensex and Nifty rise for the third day, fueled by global cues and optimism over the India-U.S. trade deal.
Equity benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty advanced for the third straight session on Tuesday (February 10, 2026) driven by firm global cues and optimism over India-U.S. trade agreement, even as investors turned to profit-booking at higher levels.
The 30-share BSE Sensex climbed 208.17 points, or 0.25%, to close at 84,273.92. During the session, the benchmark jumped 417.2 points, or 0.49%, to hit a intraday high of 84,482.95.
The 50-share NSE Nifty rose 67.85 points, or 0.26%, to finish at 25,935.15. In the intraday session, the index appreciated by 122.15 points, or 0.47%, to hit a high of 25,989.45.
Among the Sensex constituents, Eternal, Tata Steel, Mahindra & Mahindra, PowerGrid, Tech Mahindra, NTPC, Larsen & Toubro, Tata Consultancy Services, Maruti Suzuki India, Axis Bank, Titan and Hindustan Unilever were among the gainers.
On the other hand, HCL Technologies, Bajaj Finance, Bharti Airtel, Asian Paints, HDFC Bank, UltraTech Cement, Adani Ports and ITC were among the laggards.
"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," Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Ltd, said.
