Market Soars Again! Nifty Cracks 25,500, Sensex Hits 83,755 on June 26: Here's the lowdown on today's power-packed stocks!
Stock markets continue their upward trend for a second day; Nifty surpasses 25,500, and the Sensex records a 1,000-point increase. Here are the main points:
Indian equity markets stacked up gains for the second day in a row on June 26, ending bullish near the day's high.
The Nifty 50 closed the session 304 points or 1.21% higher at 25,549. The Sensex surged 1,000 points or 1.21% to end at 83,755.
Banking sector shined bright with the Nifty Bank advancing 585.55 points or 1.03% to 57,207. The BSE Midcap rose over 250 points or 0.56% to 46,362.77, while the BSE Smallcap remained steady, surging 63 points or 0.12% to 53,960.57.
"The markets reflected surging investor confidence, fueled by apparent stability in the Middle East ceasefire, which eased concerns over potential supply chain disruptions. FIIs trimmed holdings due to the shrinking yield spread between the U.S. and India's 10-year bond. DIIs, however, stepped up as net buyers, bolstered by improved liquidity conditions and a rebound in domestic consumption. Across the broader market, key sectors like banking, auto, and metal posted remarkable gains, backed by reduced domestic inflation concerns," explained Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Investments.

- Lower crude oil prices served as a boon for the markets, as they decreased input costs and inflationary pressures.
- Strong domestic investor participation offset the withdrawal of foreign institutional investors due to a diminishing yield spread between U.S. and Indian bonds.
- Positive global market sentiment and sustained buying interest in Indian equities contributed to a push for Sensex to an 8-month high and Nifty over 25,500.
- The surge in the Indian equity markets on June 26 was influenced by increased investor confidence, aided by apparent stability in the Middle East ceasefire and a weakening U.S. dollar following President Trump's criticism of the Federal Reserve Chair.
