Today's Stock Market News - 5th Feb 2026 | Parimal Ade

Today’s Daily Stock Market News (Feb 5, 2026) covers major global and Indian market developments.

We start with a sharp sell-off in US tech stocks, where Nasdaq fell 1.48% due to weak forward guidance and slowing payroll growth. Despite this, Dow Jones managed to close higher, indicating rotation into value and defensive stocks.

In global macro, Euro Zone inflation fell to 1.7%, below ECB’s target, mainly due to falling energy prices and easing core inflation. This keeps expectations of stable interest rates intact.

From India, we discuss:

• India–GCC FTA talks and key trade imbalance insights.

• India–US trade deal, focusing on protection for farmers and the dairy sector.

• Apollo Tyres’ ₹5,800 crore capacity expansion plan.

• Nifty IT index crash of 5.87% and AI-driven job risk concerns.

• Trent Q3 FY26 results with 27% YoY operating profit growth.

• Vodafone Idea’s financial stress, rising debt, and spectrum payment pressure.

We end with the overall market outlook, Nifty EPS at 1151, FII-DII flows, and why the market view remains Net Positive.
