Stock Market Live Updates 28 Jan 2026: Markets open firm as India–EU FTA lifts sentiment; Sensex up over 600 points
Sensex, Nifty, Share Prices LIVE: Indian equity markets opened firm on Thursday, buoyed by supportive global cues, with the BSE Sensex rising 613 points to 82,470 and the NSE Nifty gaining 187 points to 25,362 in early trade. Sentiment was lifted by the India–EU free trade agreement, seen as a medium-term positive for export-driven sectors and supply-chain diversification. Technically, analysts note that short-covering from oversold levels could lift benchmark indices in early trade, especially in derivatives-heavy counters. However, upside may face resistance at higher levels due to sustained weakness in the rupee, continued foreign portfolio investor selling and unresolved geopolitical risks. Attention has now shifted to the upcoming Union Budget, which is expected to be a low-impact event, with markets focusing on targeted measures rather than broad-based stimulus. Asian markets are mixed, with Korean equities outperforming, adding to cautious optimism in early trade.
