Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Indian equities snapped a four\u2011day losing streak on Tuesday, 2 June 2026<\/strong> as bargain\u2011hunting in technology stocks reversed early losses. Both the BSE Sensex<\/strong> and Nifty 50<\/strong> opened lower after Monday\u2019s drop but erased losses by the afternoon as strong buying in IT heavyweights and easing crude\u2011oil prices buoyed sentiment. Mid\u2011 and small\u2011cap indices also turned green, although gains were modest. The Indian rupee weakened slightly, India VIX eased and the advance\u2013decline ratio improved to around 2,034 advancers versus 1,285 decliners<\/strong> on the NSE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What Moved the Market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. IT stocks sparked a rally:<\/strong> U.S. technology giants\u2019 strong quarterly results and news of TCS partnering with Mistral\u00a0AI triggered institutional buying in Indian IT majors. The Nifty\u00a0IT index surged over 4\u00a0%, offsetting weakness in banks, FMCG and utilities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Crude\u2011oil volatility & geopolitics:<\/strong> Brent crude stayed above US$93\/bbl<\/strong> on worries about U.S.\u2013Iran tensions and shipping disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz. However, prices eased later in the day after U.S. officials signalled continued negotiations with Iran. High oil remained a headwind for energy\u2011intensive sectors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. FII outflows vs domestic support:<\/strong> Foreign investors continued to trim exposure on geopolitical risks and rich valuations, but domestic institutions stepped in to buy quality stocks, particularly in IT. This tug\u2011of\u2011war led to intraday volatility before a late\u2011afternoon rebound.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Macro & policy expectations:<\/strong> Traders remained cautious ahead of the Reserve Bank of India\u2019s monetary\u2011policy meeting<\/strong> scheduled later in the week and awaited domestic GDP data. Elevated bond yields and a weaker rupee kept sentiment guarded.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Global Cues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • U.S. markets:<\/strong> the S&P\u00a0500 and Nasdaq closed marginally higher overnight, led by mega\u2011cap technology stocks; however, futures were down around 0.4\u00a0% during Asian trading. Strong U.S. data pushed Treasury yields higher, but optimism around AI and cloud spending helped tech shares.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Europe:<\/strong> Euro\u00a0Stoxx\u00a050 futures rose around 0.4\u00a0% in early European trade amid hopes of progress in U.S.\u2013Iran negotiations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Asia:<\/strong> markets were mixed; Japan\u2019s Topix fell ~1.1\u00a0%, South Korea\u2019s Kospi and Australia\u2019s ASX 200 declined, while Hong\u00a0Kong\u2019s Hang\u00a0Seng gained about 1.5\u00a0%. Chinese markets were little changed as investors assessed regulatory signals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Commodities & currency:<\/strong> Brent crude eased by ~1.6\u00a0% to around US$93.45\/bbl; WTI traded near US$90.74\/bbl. Silver prices in India climbed nearly 2\u00a0% on global strength. The U.S. dollar index was flat near 99.2; gold held firm amid geopolitical uncertainty.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Stocks to Watch & Corporate Updates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Ola\u00a0Electric<\/strong>: shares fell around 3\u20134\u00a0% after the company launched a qualified institutional placement (QIP) with a floor price of about \u20b937.74 per share, raising funds for capacity expansion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • NHPC<\/strong>: the state\u2011run hydro\u2011power producer\u2019s stock dropped nearly 5\u00a0% as the government opened an \u20b94,300\u00a0crore<\/strong> offer for sale at an 8\u00a0% discount. The sale aims to meet divestment targets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Anant\u00a0Raj<\/strong>: surged over 5\u00a0% after signing a \u20b925,000\u00a0crore<\/strong> memorandum of understanding with the Haryana government to develop a large data\u2011centre park.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Coforge<\/strong>: gained more than 2\u00a0% after launching an agentic AI platform<\/strong> designed for insurers, part of its strategy to drive high\u2011margin digital revenues.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Coca\u2011Cola\/HCC Holdings<\/strong>: Coca\u2011Cola announced plans to list Hindustan Coca\u2011Cola Holdings<\/strong>, its largest bottling subsidiary, in India by 2027. Though the IPO is years away, the announcement highlighted multinationals\u2019 long\u2011term commitment to the Indian market.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Upcoming events<\/strong>: the market is eyeing corporate earnings from HDFC Life<\/strong>, Page Industries<\/strong> and Sun Pharma<\/strong> later in the week, along with IPO activity from Ola\u00a0Electric<\/strong> and SMR Jewels<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Outlook for Tomorrow (3 June 2026)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Technical levels:<\/strong>\n
              \n
            • Nifty\u00a050<\/strong> \u2013 immediate support is at 23,300\u201323,200<\/strong>, with a deeper support near 23,063<\/strong>; resistance is seen at 23,574<\/strong> followed by 23,695<\/strong>. A break above 23,700 could trigger short\u2011covering towards 23,900, while failure to hold 23,200 may re\u2011open 23,000\u201323,100 on the downside.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Sensex<\/strong> \u2013 support at 74,000\/73,700<\/strong>, resistance at 74,856\/75,220<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Nifty\u00a0Bank<\/strong> \u2013 critical support lies at 53,353<\/strong> and 52,614<\/strong>; resistance at 54,100\/54,717<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • India\u00a0VIX<\/strong> around 16.5 indicates that volatility remains elevated; traders may prefer hedged positions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Expected tone:<\/strong> the reversal in IT shares suggests potential for further short\u2011covering, but markets may trade range\u2011bound<\/strong> ahead of the RBI\u2019s policy decision and U.S. employment data. Sentiment will hinge on crude\u2011oil movement, FII flows and the GIFT\u00a0Nifty indication. With support levels nearby and oversold readings in banks, a cautiously positive<\/strong> bias is expected; however, any renewed spike in oil or geopolitical tensions could quickly dampen risk appetite.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Focus areas:<\/strong> watch IT stocks<\/strong> for continuation, banking names<\/strong> for signs of bottoming, and defensive FMCG and utilities<\/strong> for potential profit\u2011taking. Traders should monitor government bond yields<\/strong>, RBI commentary<\/strong>, and monsoon progress<\/strong>, which could influence sector rotation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
