EQUITY
Post Session: Quick Review
Jun-15-2026

Indian equity benchmarks closed sharply higher on Monday amid broad-based buying across sectors. Markets made gap-up opening and remained higher throughout session, supported by optimism over a potential easing of tensions in the West Asia after U.S. President Donald Trump announced that an agreement had been reached to end the conflict between the United States and Iran.

Some of the important factors in trade:

Easing West Asia tensions may support India's exports and stabilise the rupee: Sentiment remained upbeat as Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) President S. C. Ralhan said that any easing of geopolitical tensions in the West Asia region would help restore normalcy in global energy supplies, moderate prices and support India's exports, stabilise rupee, trade and economic growth.

India, Switzerland discuss investment opportunities for Swiss pharma companies in India: Some support also came as Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said that India and Switzerland have discussed new investment opportunities for Swiss pharma companies in the country's rapidly growing healthcare and life sciences sector. 

India's WPI inflation surges to 9.68 per cent in May 2026: Traders overlooked that the government data showing India's wholesale price index (WPI) inflation surged to 9.68 per cent in May 2026 under a new revised series, with higher food and fuel prices amid the continuing Middle East tensions due to the US-Iran war that inflated global crude prices and strained supply chains. 

On the global front: European markets were trading in green, while Asian markets closed mostly higher, after U.S. President Donald Trump and Iranian leaders said a deal has been agreed to end more than 100 days of war.

Asian markets settled higher on Monday, led by Japan's Nikkei 225 and South Korea's Kospi Index, as investors cheered a breakthrough agreement to end the conflict between the United States and Iran. This agreement is expected to ease investor concerns about inflationary pressures and lessen the need for interest-rate hikes. The historic peace deal between the United States and Iran is scheduled to be officially signed on Friday, June 19, in Switzerland. Market sentiments also improved by tracking Wall Streets’ gains last Friday. Japanese shares soared and broke above the 69,000 level as geopolitical tensions eased, while the yen weakness persisted and government bond yields tumbled ahead of the Bank of Japan policy meeting. Meanwhile, major central banks (including the Fed and BOE) are scheduled to hold monetary policy meetings this week.
