Market Round-up - 15th June 2026 by Motilal Oswal Wealth Mangement Ltd
• Equity benchmark indices staged a strong rally, with the Nifty gaining nearly 1% to close above the 23,800 mark and the Sensex surging nearly 800 points, as investors welcomed reports of a proposed peace agreement between the United States and Iran. The development significantly improved market sentiment after both nations reportedly reached an interim accord that includes the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and measures to ease geopolitical tensions in the Gulf region.
• Crude oil prices tumbled over 4%, falling to a three-month low below $84 per barrel following the announcement, alleviating concerns over supply disruptions and inflationary pressures. The positive news triggered a broad-based rally across global markets, with major Asian and European indices advancing as much as 5%, while US index futures gained more than 1%. Investors cheered the prospect of lower energy costs, easing inflation, and a potentially less hawkish interest-rate outlook.
• The Nifty climbed 231 points or 0.9% to settle at 23,930, while the Sensex advanced 736 points or 0.9% to close at 76264. Over the past two trading sessions, the Nifty has rallied nearly 3%, driven by aggressive short-covering, improving global risk appetite, and easing geopolitical concerns.
• Investor confidence was further strengthened by softer crude oil prices and a sharp recovery in the rupee, which fueled broad-based buying across sectors. Among the key gainers, the Nifty Auto, Metal, Realty, Midcap, and Smallcap indices rose up to 3%, reflecting strong participation across the broader market.
Technical Outlook:
• Nifty index opened gap up by around 360 points but failed to sustain above the 24K marks and gradually slipped lower throughout the day. Despite the positive start, the index traded within a narrow 150 point range for most of the session. Attempts of recovery faced lack of follow up and the index dropped to 23800 marks. It formed a bearish candle on the daily frame but has been making higher highs – higher lows from the last two sessions. Now it has to hold above 23850 for an up move towards 24050 then 24200 zones while support can be seen at 23700 then 23600 zones.
• S&P BSE Sensex index opened with a gap up of around 1200 points and witnessed buying interest in the first half of the session as it attempted to extend its upward momentum. The index moved higher towards 76800 marks but failed to sustain at elevated levels, which triggered profit booking and dragged the index lower towards 76300 marks. Selling pressure remained visible from the latter part of the first half and persisted throughout the second half of the session as the index consolidated near lower levels for the remainder of the day. It formed a small-bodied bearish candle on the daily chart, indicating profit booking after the recent sharp up move. Now it has to hold above 76000 for an up move towards 76700 then 77000 zones while support can be seen at 76000 then 75700 zones.
