Date and time context: Tuesday, February 10, 2026, 8 a.m. India time, with global risk sentiment starting the day on a constructive note.Wall Street recap:Dow Jones closed just above fifty thousand one hundred thirty, nearly flat but at record territory.S&P 500 ended around six thousand nine hundred sixty five, up about 0.5%.Nasdaq 100 finished near twenty five thousand two hundred sixty eight, gaining around 0.8% as large tech and growth stocks led the move.Tech, AI, and select consumer names outperformed, while defensive sectors like utilities lagged; no major negative macro surprises overnight.Indian ADR cues:Infosys ADR at about sixteen point three one dollars, down roughly 3.15%.HDFC Bank ADR near thirty three point eight six dollars, down about 1.74%.ICICI Bank ADR around thirty point seven four dollars, down roughly 1.41%.Reliance GDR near sixty four point seven dollars, up about 0.47%.Overall signal: global investors are cautious on IT and private banks, relatively more positive on Reliance and energy‑consumer plays.Asian markets and Gift Nifty:Japan’s Nikkei around fifty seven thousand eight hundred fifty eight, up about 1.02% at its last close.Hong Kong’s Hang Seng near twenty seven thousand two hundred forty eight, higher by roughly 0.12%.Shanghai Composite total return index around four thousand seven hundred twenty eight, up about 1.42%.Gift Nifty futures at approximately twenty five thousand nine hundred eighty eight, up about 0.38%, implying a mildly positive start of around one hundred points for Nifty.Macro backdrop and India link:Central banks, especially the US Fed, remain cautious and data‑dependent, which supports risk assets but keeps them sensitive to upcoming data.Evolving trade and investment ties, including the India–US trade framework, reinforce the medium‑term case for Indian exports and manufacturing.Domestic market tone:Recent Indian sessions have seen gains in Sensex and Nifty, aided by foreign institutional buying and selective domestic profit‑taking.RBI’s steady policy stance and balanced view on growth and inflation act as a supportive macro anchor.Sector focus today likely on banks, capital goods, autos, consumption and trade‑beneficiary stocks.Technical setup:Nifty immediate supports lie just below current levels, with the psychological zone around twenty six thousand acting as key resistance.A sustained move above twenty six thousand could open higher targets, while breaks below support may trigger quick profit‑taking.Bank Nifty has nearby support slightly below the latest close and resistance a few hundred points higher; banking strength remains crucial for the next leg of the rally.Newer, stricter F&O norms from SEBI make disciplined leverage and risk management essential.Commodities snapshot:Gold futures near five thousand twenty one dollars per ounce, down about 0.74%.Silver around eighty one point zero seven dollars per ounce, down roughly 2.75%.WTI crude oil around sixty four point one three dollars a barrel, lower by about 0.43%.US natural gas close to three point zero five dollars, down about 0.99%.Overall, commodity moves suggest no fresh spike in inflation pressures, a mild positive for equities and input‑cost‑sensitive sectors.Actionable day plan (high level, not tips):Bias for Indian equities is constructive but markets are near key round numbers, so intraday volatility can be high.Traders may prefer confirmation around support and resistance zones on Nifty and Bank Nifty rather than chasing gaps.Investors can use dips to add quality large‑caps in banking, capital goods, consumption and structural stories, while staying diversified and avoiding over‑concentration in any one theme.

Global markets ended the week on a strong risk‑on note, with the Dow closing above fifty thousand for the first time and both the S&P five hundred and Nasdaq delivering solid gains led by AI and semiconductor stocks.Amazon dragged after outlining a massive AI‑driven capex plan, while Stellantis slumped on a large charge tied to its electric‑vehicle strategy, underscoring stock‑specific volatility beneath the upbeat index moves.Indian ADRs for Infosys, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and Reliance all closed higher, signalling a constructive bias for large private banks, a stabilising tone for IT, and supportive cues for energy as Indian markets open.Asian markets are taking their cues from Friday’s closes: Japan’s Nikkei stayed firm, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng and Shanghai remained cautious on China growth and property concerns, while GIFT Nifty futures point to a flat‑to‑slightly‑positive start for the Nifty fifty.Globally, central banks like the ECB and Bank of England are holding rates steady with a tilt towards eventual cuts, while a new interim India–US trade deal cutting US tariffs on Indian goods boosts the medium‑term outlook for exporters in pharma, textiles, engineering and specialty chemicals.Commodities are sending mixed signals: crude is subdued versus past peaks, copper is firm near its highs, and gold and silver have surged sharply on safe‑haven demand and rate‑cut expectations, potentially adding momentum to bullion‑linked and metals plays.On the domestic front, RBI has kept the repo rate unchanged with a neutral stance, but eased conditions for bank lending to REITs and raised collateral‑free MSME loan limits, supporting real estate, MSME‑focused lenders and broader credit growth.Indian equities ended Friday in the green, with Nifty, Sensex and Bank Nifty all closing higher; FMCG and private banks outperformed, IT lagged, and FIIs turned net buyers even as domestic institutions booked some profits.SEBI’s tighter F&O framework is reshaping intraday and options trading, with stricter position limits, eligibility rules and margin surveillance making leverage management and risk control critical for derivatives traders.Key technical zones to monitor are twenty five thousand five hundred sixty to twenty five thousand eight hundred on Nifty and fifty nine thousand eight hundred to sixty thousand four hundred on Bank Nifty, which are likely to define the day’s trading bias.The core message for traders is “optimism with guardrails”: ride the global tailwinds and supportive domestic policy backdrop, but avoid chasing gaps, manage position size and leverage, and respect clearly defined support and resistance zones.For investors, the focus remains on long‑term themes like financials, consumption, formal real estate and export‑oriented sectors rather than short‑term hype around AI or commodity spikes, with an eye on how global moves filter into Indian sentiment through the day.

Global equities cooled off overnight as the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 all slipped, led by profit booking in stretched US tech and software names.A rotation out of high‑growth technology into relatively defensive and value pockets drove the move, with fintech and some AI‑linked stocks under pressure.PayPal was among the big losers after weak guidance, while select defense and data analytics names still gained on strong earnings and visibility.In Indian ADRs, Infosys fell sharply in line with global tech weakness, HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank saw mild profit taking, while Reliance ADRs rose strongly on optimism around energy, telecom and retail.Asian markets reflected the US risk‑off tone, with the Nikkei easing from recent highs, the Hang Seng broadly flat to slightly negative and Shanghai hugging the unchanged line.Gift Nifty futures traded slightly lower, pointing to a flat to mildly soft start for the Nifty 50 after a blockbuster rally in the previous cash session.Globally, gold and silver rebounded sharply from last week’s plunge, signalling renewed demand for safety and driving interest in mining and precious‑metal related stocks.Crude oil edged higher on expectations of tighter OPEC+ supply and ongoing geopolitical tensions, supporting upstream energy names but posing cost risks for fuel‑heavy sectors.Hawkish messaging from US policymakers and expectations of a “higher for longer” Federal Reserve path kept hopes of rapid rate cuts in check, adding to volatility across risk assets.On Dalal Street, the Nifty 50 and Sensex both surged more than two and a half percent in the prior session, powered by banks, capital‑goods and beneficiaries of the India–US trade deal and Budget optimism.Bank Nifty rallied strongly with heavy buying in major private and public sector lenders, signalling renewed confidence in the financials space.Traders remain alert to any fresh SEBI or exchange guidelines around F&O leverage and weekly expiries that could quickly alter intraday volatility.Key technical levels for Nifty include support around twenty five thousand four hundred and twenty five thousand two hundred, with resistance near twenty five thousand eight hundred fifty and then twenty six thousand one hundred.For Bank Nifty, immediate support is placed near fifty nine thousand five hundred and fifty nine thousand one hundred, while resistance sits around sixty thousand eight hundred and then sixty one thousand five hundred.Commodity swings, especially in gold, silver and crude, are set to influence Indian metal, energy and export‑import sensitive sectors through the day.The day’s game plan emphasises disciplined risk management: avoid chasing gap‑ups, focus on quality large caps with solid earnings, and use clearly defined support and resistance levels to guide entries and profit‑taking.

US markets closed higher overnight, with the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all gaining on the back of strong earnings and resilient tech stocks.Apple and Western Digital led US market winners, while Microsoft slipped on concerns around cloud growth despite posting solid numbers.Indian ADRs had a strong session: Infosys, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, and Reliance all closed in the green, signaling renewed global appetite for Indian assets.A landmark US–India trade deal was announced, with tariffs on Indian exports to the US cut to eighteen percent in exchange for large long-term purchase commitments from India, especially in energy and agriculture.The trade deal is seen as a strategic realignment, with India pledging to pivot away from Russian oil and increase purchases from the US and select allies, improving geopolitical ties but raising questions on energy costs.Asian markets were mixed in the latest session, with the Nikkei up, the Hang Seng flat, and Shanghai under pressure, reflecting uneven regional risk appetite.Gift Nifty is trading near twenty-five thousand nine hundred twenty-nine, sharply higher and indicating a strong positive start for Indian equities.The sharp jump in Gift Nifty is driven largely by aggressive short covering after the post-budget sell-off and ahead of the first weekly derivatives expiry of February.Budget announcements, especially the hike in Securities Transaction Tax on futures and options, triggered a steep correction in Indian markets, increasing trading costs and weighing on derivatives volumes.Foreign portfolio investors have turned cautious after heavy January outflows, and today’s bounce is seen more as a positioning squeeze than a clean shift to fresh long-term buying.With weekly expiry and large outstanding positions, intraday volatility is expected to remain elevated as traders unwind shorts and roll positions.Gold and silver have rallied strongly in dollar terms, highlighting ongoing global uncertainty and safe-haven demand, while crude oil and natural gas have been relatively subdued.The episode underscores that today’s rally is primarily mechanical short covering; the structural impact of higher STT and upcoming RBI policy remains an overhang.Traders are urged to respect the heightened volatility on expiry day, avoid over-leveraging, and focus on disciplined risk management rather than chasing gap-up openings.Long-term investors are reminded to focus on quality Indian companies that stand to benefit from the US–India trade deal and reduced tariffs, rather than reacting to short-term noise.The show wraps up by inviting listeners to send in questions on the trade deal, market volatility, and sector implications, and to tune in daily for the morning update and evening wrap.

Wall Street closed Friday in the red, with the Dow, S&P five hundred and Nasdaq all slipping as investors reacted to President Trump nominating Kevin Warsh as the next Fed Chair and repriced interest-rate expectations.The standout global story was a historic crash in precious metals, with gold and especially silver suffering one of their worst single-day declines in decades as the US Dollar surged and leveraged positions unwound.US sector and stock performance was mixed, with mega-cap tech like Apple holding up relatively better, while high-beta and rate-sensitive pockets bore the brunt of risk-off sentiment.Indian ADRs for Infosys, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and Reliance all ended lower overnight, signaling continued foreign risk aversion and reflecting concerns over rupee weakness and derivatives-tax changes back home.Across Asia, indices showed a split screen: Japan’s Nikkei held firm in positive territory, while the Hang Seng and Shanghai Composite slipped on dollar strength, commodities volatility and renewed worries around global growth.Gift Nifty turned higher and now trades around twenty-four thousand eight hundred eighty-eight, up roughly one hundred points, hinting at a steadier and slightly positive start for the Nifty after Sunday’s sharp post-Budget sell-off.Globally, markets are watching the Warsh-led Fed outlook, the stronger dollar, and evolving US–India trade and energy ties, including Trump’s push for India to source more oil from alternative suppliers like Venezuela.At home, the Union Budget’s surprise hike in Securities Transaction Tax on F&O trades sparked a nearly two percent crash in Nifty and a spike in India VIX, as traders reassessed the higher cost of leverage and hedging.RBI is expected to keep the repo rate unchanged, with fiscal consolidation and capex push from the Budget providing a long-term positive backdrop even as near-term volatility remains elevated.Technically, Nifty now faces strong resistance in the twenty-five thousand to twenty-five thousand one hundred zone, while immediate support lies around twenty-four thousand seven hundred, making today’s price action crucial for short-term trend confirmation.Bank Nifty is holding relatively better, with key supports in the upper fifty-eight thousand range and upside confirmation only if it can reclaim levels closer to fifty-nine thousand five hundred.Crude oil has corrected meaningfully, which is a tailwind for India’s import bill, but the same stronger dollar that hit gold and silver also poses headwinds for the rupee and imported inflation.The episode emphasizes risk management for traders: volatility post-Budget and around global macro shifts calls for controlled position sizing, disciplined stop-losses and a focus on high-liquidity large caps.The show wraps with a reminder that today’s opening tone is cautiously optimistic rather than outright fearful, thanks to the rebound in Gift Nifty, and invites listeners to tune in to the evening wrap and send in their questions for deeper market discussions.
