Sensex, Nifty, Share Prices LIVE: Indian equity markets are likely to open flat to positive on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, as the NSE F&O monthly settlement approaches. Persistent FII selling, weaker-than-expected December quarter results, and global trade uncertainties have weighed on investor sentiment.

Analysts expect limited downside from current levels, noting that positive cues could trigger a sharp technical pullback. The potential India–EU free trade agreement could act as a counter-cyclical buffer, boosting exports in Pharma, Textiles, and Chemicals, while providing regulatory clarity and foreign investment inflows.

Early support is coming from mildly positive US and Asian markets, as well as near-term optimism from the US administration’s remarks on tariff rollbacks.

Additionally, RBI’s ₹1 lakh crore liquidity measures through government securities purchases will stabilize funding conditions. With the Union Budget and clarity on US-India trade timelines ahead, markets are likely to remain cautious, but selective buying opportunities may emerge in key sectors.
