Indian equity markets closed with modest gains despite a weak opening, supported by late-session buying. The day began on a softer note as sentiment remained subdued, with investors reacting to mixed global cues and ongoing geopolitical uncertainties. The RBI’s decision to keep the policy rate unchanged at 5.25%, coupled with its caution on elevated global risks, further weighed on risk appetite. Additionally, weakness in the Indian rupee contributed to the cautious market tone. However, selective buying in the latter part of the session helped markets recover early losses and close in positive territory.

Bond yields surged after the RBI kept the key repo rate unchanged at 5.25% and refrained from announcing any fresh liquidity support in its Feb 2026 monetary policy meeting. The absence of liquidity measures, combined with the market’s anticipation of a record government bond supply for FY27, pushed yields sharply higher.
