Indian Stock Market Today | The benchmark equity indices staged a firm recovery on Monday (June 22), bouncing back from Friday's sharp correction.
The market found structural support from declining crude oil prices, firm global cues, institutional buying and a strong wave of accumulation in frontline heavyweights.
Market breadth remained comfortably positive, with advancing stocks outnumbering decliners by a 2:1 ratio on the NSE. The Nifty Smallcap 100 index advanced 0.6% while the Nifty Midcap 100 index gained 0.3%.
All major sector gauges finished the session in the green, except FMCG and Consumer Durables.
At the Closing Bell:
- BSE Sensex: Jumped 291.17 points to close at 77,094.07
- Nifty 50: Climbed 89.80 points to settle at 24,102.90
- Nifty Bank: Rose 249.85 points to finish at 57,935.60
Why Did the Market Rise Today?
The primary catalysts driving today's market recovery include:
- Progress in US-Iran Peace Talks
Global risk appetite returned after the opening round of high-level diplomatic talks between the US and Iran concluded in Switzerland with tangible progress.
Mediators revealed that both nations have established a concrete roadmap aimed at securing a permanent treaty within 60 days.
Consequently, Iran has officially resumed sea-bound energy exports, effectively dismantling the friction caused by the recent US naval blockade.
- Fall in Crude Oil Prices
Brent crude futures declined more than 1% to slip back below the critical $80/barrel threshold.
Energy prices had initially flared up to $82.30 during early morning trading following sharp warnings from US President Donald Trump regarding potential military responses, alongside a brief threat from Tehran to close the Strait of Hormuz.
The cooling of these tensions later in the day alleviated imported inflation fears and provided an immediate cushion for oil-dependent domestic sectors.
- The Return of FIIs
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) net purchased equities worth Rs 4,859 crore on Friday—marking their largest single-day net cash inflow since early February.
Broadly, foreign capital has taken a positive turn since June 15, with FPIs logging net cash inflows of Rs 3,386 crore during the preceding week.
- Recovery in IT Pack
The Nifty IT index, which had collapsed 3.7% on Friday following Accenture’s cautious revenue growth forecast, stabilized to finish 0.7% higher.
- Blue-Chip Heavyweights Lend Support
Core banking giants HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank, along with Reliance Industries and IT major Infosys, were the primary contributors driving the Nifty 50 past the 24,100 mark.
