Indian stock markets witnessed a strong rally on June 26, 2025, driven by easing geopolitical tensions and positive global cues. The BSE Sensex climbed over 550 points while the Nifty50 surged past the 23,700 mark, buoyed by news of a ceasefire agreement between Iran and Israel.
The easing of war fears brought much-needed relief to global markets, with US futures and major Asian indices showing upward momentum. This also helped improve foreign investor sentiment in Indian equities.
Market analysts noted that the revival of political stability in the US under Donald Trump’s anticipated return to power added further tailwinds to global risk assets. The sentiment was also helped by a softening in crude oil prices, reducing pressure on India’s import bill.
Top Gainers and Sectors:
Banking, financial services, and IT stocks led the rally on Dalal Street. Among top gainers were HDFC Bank, Infosys, ICICI Bank, and TCS. Auto and FMCG stocks also showed positive movement, reflecting improved domestic demand expectations.
Outlook:
With global tensions easing and strong political signals from the US, analysts expect near-term market sentiment to stay bullish. However, volatility may persist due to upcoming macroeconomic data releases and interest rate cues from global central banks.
