As of 0853 GMT, the pan-European STOXX 600 index had risen by 0.3% to reach 618.94 points.

Global stock markets have been bouncing back after a turbulent week, which was sparked by worries regarding artificial intelligence's potential to disrupt traditional software industries, even as major players like Alphabet and Amazon.com announced new spending goals to advance the technology.

The bounce back on Friday enabled the STOXX 600 to achieve a weekly gain, although lingering uncertainties regarding the technology sector remain a primary concern.

Stock Market Today LIVE: Himanshu Srivastava, Principal, Manager Research, Morningstar Investment Research India, said - "DIIs now holding a larger share than FIIs in the Nifty50 underscores a fundamental shift toward stronger domestic participation in India’s equity markets. This reflects the growing strength of domestic capital pools.

The change has been driven by sustained mutual fund SIP inflows, rising retail participation, and steady allocations from insurance and pension funds, even as FIIs turned cautious amid global macro uncertainty, elevated overseas rates, and a stronger dollar.

The increasing dominance of domestic money provides a more stable, long-term source of liquidity, reduces reliance on volatile foreign flows, and could help cushion markets during global risk-off phases, ultimately making India’s equity market structure more resilient and aligned with domestic growth fundamentals."

Stock Market Today LIVE: Gaurav Garg, Research Analyst at Lemonn Markets Desk, said - "Gold and silver extended their rebound on Monday, with MCX gold trading around ₹1.56–1.58 lakh per 10 g and silver up over ₹10,000, supported by a softer US dollar and steady safe‑haven demand.

The metals recovered after last week’s sharp swings, as traders positioned ahead of macro data and policy cues. Silver remained more volatile, reflecting speculative flows and short-term profit-booking.

Domestic buying interest and international cues lifted prices, while profit-taking was seen near intra-day highs. Near-term consolidation is likely, with key support levels for gold at ₹1.54–1.55 lakh and silver at ₹2.40–2.45 lakh. Overall, market sentiment remains cautiously bullish amid ongoing macro uncertainty."

Rising Japanese bond yields could emerge as a fresh headwind for the Indian stock market, which has already been under pressure due to sustained FPI outflows. A key risk is the potential acceleration of the unwinding of the yen carry trade across global financial markets.

Stock Market Today LIVE: Author and investor Robert Kiyosaki weighed in on the long-running debate between gold and Bitcoin, arguing that while both have a place in a diversified portfolio, Bitcoin is the superior long-term investment.

Responding to a common question on asset allocation in a social media post on X on Monday, February 9, the Rich Dad Poor Dad author said he personally owns gold, silver and Bitcoin, but if forced to choose between gold and Bitcoin, his preference would be digital gold. The reason? He said it comes down to supply dynamics.

Kiyosaki's comments come on the backdrop of the sharp plunge in Bitcoin prices. The prices of Bitcoin have steadied at $70,000 but are down 44% from their record high of above $126,000. While gold prices, too, have corrected from their peak, the decline is just 10% from the peak of nearly $5,595.

Stock Market Today LIVE: Gold and silver exchange traded funds (ETFs) staged a strong rebound on February 9, mirroring the sharp recovery in precious metal prices after a period of intense volatility that rattled investors.

Monday’s recovery was led decisively by silver, which outperformed gold both in spot markets and ETF gains. A softer US dollar, dip-buying interest and supportive global cues helped stabilise sentiment, even as traders remained cautious about near-term swings. While gold saw steady inflows as a hedge, silver’s higher beta resulted in outsized ETF gains, reflecting renewed risk appetite among traders willing to bet on a rebound.

Stock Market Today LIVE: Anand James, Chief Market Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited, said - “While the anticipated gap filling down-move aiming 25,440 did not fully materialize, the brief slippage below 25,500 is suggestive towards loss in upside momentum.

That said, the consistent close near 25,700 through last week suggests that there is enough buying interest to achieve our rebound target of 26,020. Alternatively, inability to float above 25,830 may be taken as a weakening sign, but we will wait for a slippage below 25,580 to abandon upside hopes entirely today.”

Stock Market Today LIVE: According to Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments, there are tailwinds that can take the market higher in the near-term. Clarity on the US-India trade deal indicates that the Indian businesses, particularly exporters, will benefit. More importantly, the uncertainty over the trade deal and its impact on the Indian economy, which was weighing on the market, has been removed. The rebound in the US market and the cues from other markets indicate another phase of risk on.

"A big positive for the market is that FIIs who were sustained sellers in the market have bought in the cash market in three out of the last four trading days. The fact that the derivatives market continues to be heavily net short might impart resilience to the market, on expectations of short covering.

Coming to sectoral moves, the ‘Anthropic shock’ will continue to impact sentiments in the IT sector. On the contrary, banking stocks are likely to gather strength on news of improving credit growth, which will have positive fall out for GDP growth and corporate earnings in FY27," said Vijayakumar.
