As of February 7, 2026, global financial markets are navigating a period of “Institutional Calibration” characterized by defensive positioning and a pivot toward “Fiscal Oases”. While U.S. futures like the NAS100 (+0.32%) show marginal resilience, widespread de-risking in Asian markets—specifically the HSI (-1.13%) and XJO (-2.09%)—indicates a significant recalibration of global risk appetite. The recent 16.79% surge in the global VIX to 21.77 suggests that market participants are bracing for deeper price discovery amidst persistent inflation expectations.
Market sentiment for the upcoming week is expected to remain cautiously optimistic for India, following a complete collapse in market fear post-Budget and the signing of the Indo-US trade deal. While global fear is high, the India VIX has cooled to 11.94, dropping 1.9%, signaling domestic stability. Investors are currently rotating capital toward safe-haven hedges such as Gold (+0.87%) and Silver (+2.51%) while keeping a close watch on the Dollar Index (97.85) and the US10Y yield at 4.184%.
The newly finalized Indo-US Comprehensive Trade & Technology Initiative (CTTI) is fundamentally reshaping global economic corridors. This strategic alliance focuses on high-tech integration, specifically semiconductor fabrication, 6G telecommunications, and green hydrogen infrastructure. By removing traditional tariff barriers and streamlining regulatory hurdles, the deal establishes a robust “G2” economic engine that offers an alternative to regional supply chain bottlenecks.
For institutional traders, this alliance serves as a critical de-risking tool. U.S.-based multinationals are gaining a high-growth manufacturing base, while Indian firms are receiving unprecedented access to American capital and technology. Analysts are already pricing in a long-term 1.2% to 1.5% boost to India’s GDP, positioning the Rupee—currently trading near 90.1975—as a resilient asset in a volatile monetary environment.

The Indian indices closed the week with a “Risk-On” reversal as Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) returned to the cash market following a week of defensive de-leveraging.
The Nifty 50 is currently exhibiting a “Bullish Island Reversal” on the daily chart, suggesting that the January consolidation has concluded. With FIIs turning net buyers in the cash market for the first time in 10 days, the immediate target for the Nifty remains 25,800 – 26,000. The RBI Interest Rate Decision of 5.25% has been largely absorbed, with the focus now shifting to the “Hawkish Pause” rhetoric and upcoming inflation data.
Trading Strategy: The current theme is “Defensive Accumulation.” Place buy orders for BTC at the $63,500 support level with a tight stop-loss. Focus on XRP (+4.14%) and ETH (+3.53%) for momentum-based alpha, but wait for Dollar stabilization before entering heavy long positions.
View global markets through a lens of Selective Growth. The surge in the global VIX suggests caution in developed markets, while the crash in the India VIX highlights a domestic “Growth Oasis”.
