On January 9, 2026, the Indian stock market opened on a positive note, with the Sensex rising over 200 points and the Nifty trading above 25,900. This rebound followed steady losses over the past four sessions, where the Nifty declined 1.7% and the Sensex fell 1.8%. The uptick occurs against the backdrop of concerns over US tariff policies, particularly Donald Trump's proposed tariffs on India and a US Supreme Court ruling on tariffs.

Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have been selling Indian stocks, contributing to market volatility. Gift Nifty indicated a positive start, aligning with the opening trends. Key support and resistance levels for Nifty and Sensex are under close watch.

BEL shares gained 2%, with IT and metal sectors also showing strength. Experts note that US tariff impacts could significantly affect the Indian market, but today's opening reflects cautious optimism.
