SENSEX, NIFTY50 fall ahead of Reserve Bank of India policy decision; IT stocks slide on global sell-off

We saw a cautious day on Dalal Street on February 6, 2026, as key Indian benchmarks, including the SENSEX and NIFTY50, edged lower ahead of a major policy decision by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Traders and investors adopted a wait‑and‑watch stance before the RBI announcement, and global sell‑offs, especially in technology stocks, added to the pressure. Overall, markets looked tentative, and risk‑off sentiment was clearly visible.
