Indian equity markets are poised for a positive opening on January 13, 2026, following mixed global cues and a volatile session on Monday. Investors are closely watching Q3 earnings reports from major IT firms TCS and HCL Technologies, both of which reported profit declines due to one-time expenses and provisions. Several other companies, including ICICI Prudential Life Insurance and Tata Elxsi, are also set to announce their quarterly results. Developments in geopolitics and trade negotiations remain key focus areas.
