Stocks to watch: SBI, IREDA, BSE, Tata Steel among 10 shares in focus today; full list here

Stock market today: Indian equity benchmarks Sensex and Nifty 50 are likely to open on a positive note on Monday, February 9, amid strong cues from global markets.

Asian markets were trading in the green, with Japanese equities scaling record highs, while US stock futures also edged up.

“Indian equity markets are set to open on a positive note, supported by a clear improvement in domestic fundamentals and a marked easing of external uncertainties. The India–US trade pact has removed a key overhang, improved export visibility and triggered a revival in foreign investor interest. The RBI’s decision to hold the repo rate at 5.25% with a neutral stance, alongside benign inflation expectations for FY26 (2.1%) and a steady growth outlook, continues to reinforce macroeconomic stability,” said Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money.

On Friday, domestic markets closed higher, supported by buying interest in select heavyweight stocks following the Reserve Bank of India’s policy announcement. The Sensex rose 266.47 points, or 0.32%, to end at 83,580.40, and the Nifty 50 advanced 50.90 points, or 0.20%, to settle at 25,693.70.
