• Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) were net sellers the previous day (~₹1 987 cr), but short‑covering and domestic institutional buying (~₹4 224 cr) helped markets recover. Net figures for 12 June were not yet available by press time.
• The advance–decline ratio improved significantly, reflecting widespread buying across large‑cap, mid‑cap and small‑cap segments.
• Lower volatility (India VIX below 15) and a firm rupee supported risk appetite.

What Moved the Market

1. US–Iran Peace Hopes: Comments from US President Donald Trump suggesting that a formal peace deal with Iran might be signed over the weekend eased fears of an escalation in the Middle East. The possibility of reopening the Strait of Hormuz sent crude prices sharply lower and triggered broad risk‑on sentiment.
2. Crude Oil Slump: Brent crude fell to about US$89 a barrel and WTI to US$86.5, down around 4 % for the week. Lower oil prices were seen as positive for India’s macro fundamentals (lower current account deficit, benign inflation) and for sectors such as airlines, tyres, paints and logistics.
3. Global Rally: Overnight, the Dow Jones (+1.86 %), Nasdaq (+2.54 %) and S&P 500 (+1.75 %) surged on easing geopolitical risk. Asian markets followed suit, with Japan’s Nikkei 225 up almost 2.9 % and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng up 1.6 %. Positive global cues underpinned sentiment in India.
4. Domestic Liquidity: Domestic institutional investors continued to support the market, absorbing foreign selling. A firm rupee and falling volatility encouraged traders to take risk, especially in mid‑caps and small‑caps.
5. Technical Breakout: Nifty closed above its 21‑day moving average and broke out of a narrow range. The breakout encouraged momentum traders to buy, adding to the afternoon rally.

Global Cues

• US Markets: The Dow, Nasdaq and S&P 500 gained between 1.7 % and 2.5 % overnight as traders reacted to signs of progress in peace talks and shrugged off mixed economic data. Chip stocks rallied strongly, helping tech-heavy indices.
• European Markets: Major European indices like the FTSE 100 (+1.1 %), CAC 40 (+1.6 %) and DAX (−0.2 %) were mostly higher, with modest profit‑taking in Germany.
• Asian Markets: Japan’s Nikkei 225 (+3.1 %) and Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 (+1.8 %) led gains, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng rose about 1.9 %.
• Commodities: Crude oil fell sharply as peace expectations eased supply concerns. Gold edged up modestly to around ₹15,046 per 10 gm, while silver rose 1.32 % to ₹2,442 per 100 gm.

Stocks to Watch

• IndiGo/InterGlobe Aviation: Lower jet‑fuel prices could further boost earnings. Watch for passenger traffic data and commentary on capacity expansion.
• Shriram Finance: Fitch recently upgraded its long‑term rating; the company is poised to benefit from improving commercial vehicle demand and lower borrowing costs.
• Bajaj Finance and other NBFCs: Benefited from strong consumer spending and stable interest‑rate expectations; any guidance on loan growth and asset quality will be closely monitored.
• Netweb Technologies: Shares jumped almost 10 % intraday on the back of a rally in global chip stocks. Investors should watch for order announcements and margin trends.
• Vodafone Idea: The stock rallied over 5 % after the Aditya Birla Group committed ₹4,730 cr through a preferential allotment. Long‑term viability and fund‑raising progress remain key.
• Energy & Oil Majors (ONGC, Oil India): These names declined due to falling crude prices. Further downside in oil could pressure earnings, while any reversal in oil may lead to a bounce.

Corporate Updates

• Shriram Finance received an upgrade from Fitch Ratings, which raised its long‑term issuer default rating to BBB citing improved asset quality and strengthened capital buffers. The upgrade is expected to lower funding costs.
• Vodafone Idea shareholders approved a ₹4,730‑crore investment from the Aditya Birla Group through a preferential issue of warrants. The infusion aims to improve liquidity and support network expansion.
• Netweb Technologies announced strong order wins in high‑performance computing. The company is benefiting from global semiconductor demand and government incentives for domestic chip manufacturing.
• FMCG Players such as Nestlé India and Britannia introduced price hikes of 2–4 % to offset commodity inflation. Analysts believe margin pressure may ease as raw‑material costs stabilise.
• Automakers reported encouraging monthly wholesale dispatches; however, exports remain under pressure due to weak demand in certain African and Latin‑American markets.

Technical Levels and Tomorrow’s Outlook

• Nifty 50: The index formed a bullish candle with a pronounced lower shadow, showing buyers absorbed intraday selling. Immediate support lies at 23,500, followed by the 23,070 double‑bottom zone. Resistance is placed around 23,720 (50‑day moving average); a decisive close above this could open the door to 24,000 and later 24,200. On the downside, a break below 23,300 may trigger a retreat towards 23,070.
• Sensex: Support is near 74,300, while resistance is around 74,900. A move above 75,600 could accelerate the rally towards 76,500, while failure to hold 74,300 may lead to a pullback.
• Bank Nifty: Support lies at roughly 55,300, with resistance around 56,300. Sustaining above 55,900 may lead to an extension towards 56,500.
• Market Tone for the Next Trading Day (13 June 2026):
  • Bias: Mildly positive to neutral. Momentum indicators such as RSI have recovered from oversold levels, and the drop in India VIX suggests the market may attempt to consolidate gains. However, the strong rally may invite profit‑booking if there is no follow‑through from global cues.
  • Catalysts to Watch: Final announcements on the US–Iran peace accord; India’s May CPI inflation data; US producer‑price index and Fed commentary; foreign flow data. Continued decline in crude oil and supportive global markets would favour bulls, while any negative surprise in inflation or breakdown in peace talks could cause volatility.
  • Trading Strategy: Traders may consider trailing stop‑loss levels near support zones and focus on sectors benefiting from lower oil (aviation, paints, tyres) and domestic growth (banking, auto, infra). IT and energy stocks may underperform until clarity emerges on global demand.
