  • Sensex and Nifty Expected to Open Firm Amid India-EU Trade Deal and Budget Optimism
    January 27, 2026, 10:06 PM EST. Indian equity markets are poised for a firm opening following the India-EU free trade agreement (FTA), which is seen as a catalyst for enhanced export growth and deeper integration into global value chains. The EU accounts for about 17% of India's goods exports, with expectations of a USD 50 billion rise by 2031. Nifty futures signal gains near 60 points at open. Investors now focus on the upcoming FY27 Union Budget, anticipated to balance growth with fiscal consolidation amid geopolitical and market risks. Analysts expect subdued budget impact but note potential sector-specific effects, with positive outlooks for railways, defense, and auto ancillaries. Ongoing challenges include foreign fund outflows, rupee weakness, and Middle East tensions, which could temper gains despite improved risk sentiment.
