Share Market: A tremendous rise is being seen in the Indian stock market on Monday. In early trading, both the benchmark indices were seen in the green. On one hand, the main index Sensex of Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) was seen trading with a strength of about 500 points.
At the same time, Nifty 50 of National Stock Exchange (NSE) also rose by 168.40 points to reach the level of 25,862.10. This rise in the stock market is due to the positive signals received at the global level, strong buying by foreign investors and the huge jump in PSU banking shares.
Grand return of foreign investors

Exchanges data shows that on February 6, FIIs bought shares worth Rs 1,950.77 crore. Earlier on February 5, FIIs had sold shares worth Rs 2,150.51 crore.

So far this month, FIIs bought shares worth Rs 93,250.26 crore and sold shares worth Rs 90,604.73 crore. This continuous return of foreign investors has strengthened the confidence of investors in the market and supported the rise in the benchmark index.
Trade deal between India and America
The market has also received support from the India-US trade deal. Indian companies, especially export related companies, are expected to benefit on a large scale from this. Brokerage firm Bernstein said that based on the information received so far, this trade deal is positive for Indian equities. Auto component companies may benefit from this, while the pharmaceutical sector may be protected from potential downside risks.
The brokerage said that the reduced tariffs will help in improving India’s trade balance with the US, which had weakened due to the earlier tariffs. Better export flow is expected to support dollar inflow, strengthen the balance of payments and provide mild support to the rupee.
Shares of PSU banks rose
In today’s trading session, the rise in shares of state-run bank State Bank of India (SBI) also helped the market rise. PSU banking shares were among the top gainers in today’s session, which strengthened the entire market. On February 9, SBI shares reached a record high level of about 7 percent.
