Stock Market Highlights Today: Nifty gains 115 points, are bulls back in control? – 9th June 2026

Indian equities recovered part of the previous session’s losses on Tuesday, with Nifty 50 reclaiming 23,200 and Sensex moving back above 73,800, helped by a rally in banking and financial stocks after the Reserve Bank of India’s swap facility for overseas borrowings and easing Middle East tensions that cooled crude prices.

The rebound tracked gains in global equities after a technology-led selloff last week, while volatility eased and broader markets outperformed, although foreign investors continued to remain net sellers.
