Shares of Infosys Limited (NSE: INFY) opened on a weak note today, February 9, 2026, diverging from a broader market rally fueled by a landmark India-US trade deal. While the benchmark Nifty 50 and Sensex both jumped over 0.5% in early trade, Infosys faced downward pressure as the IT sector remained range-bound.
Key Trading Highlights (Early Session)
At the opening bell, Infosys shares began trading at INR 1,500.50. By mid-morning, the stock had slipped further, tracking a decline of approximately 0.44%.

Market Context: IT Drags While Banking Soars
The dip in Infosys comes at a time of high volatility for the Indian IT sector. While the Sensex jumped nearly 500 points and the Nifty 50 traded above 25,800, Infosys featured among the morning’s laggards alongside other tech giants like Tech Mahindra and TCS.
Analysts suggest that while the broader market is celebrating the India-US trade agreement, which reduced tariffs on major export categories, the IT sector continues to navigate a “cautious” sentiment following recent global tech shifts and domestic earnings reports.
Market Note: In contrast to the IT slump, other sectors saw massive gains. Notably, Kalyan Jewellers shares surged by over 11% following the zero-tariff news on gems and jewelry exports to the US.
Technical Outlook
According to data from the National Stock Exchange (NSE), Infosys is currently trading significantly below its 52-week high of INR 1,924.00, reached exactly one year ago. Investors are keeping a close eye on the INR 1,480–1,500 support zone to see if the stock can find a floor amidst the current sector-wide consolidation.
