Indian Stocks Poised for Positive Open Amid Global Market Fluctuations
Indian equity benchmarks, the Sensex and Nifty, are expected to open on a positive note Wednesday, February 11, 2026, despite a mixed performance in global markets. Around 6:50 AM local time, the GIFT Nifty was trading at 26,050.5, up 89 points or 0.34 percent, signaling potential gains for the broader market.
Asian markets are currently exhibiting strength, continuing a recent rally. Japan’s Nikkei 225 index is up 2.28 percent, Australia’s S&P/AXS 200 has risen 1.21 percent, and South Korea’s KOSPI is showing a modest gain of 0.04 percent as of the latest checks.
The positive momentum in Asia follows a more subdued session in the United States on Tuesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average managed a slight increase, marking its third consecutive record close, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite both ended the day lower. Investors are digesting recent economic data and awaiting further insights into the health of the US labor market.
US retail sales figures for December revealed a lack of growth, remaining unchanged month-over-month. This fell short of economists’ expectations, which had predicted a 0.4 percent increase, according to a Dow Jones survey. The S&P 500 index declined 0.33 percent, the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.59 percent, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average edged up 0.10 percent.
