Realty | Nifty Realty (+3.53%): The index surged as all constituent stocks traded in the green, reflecting strong buying interest across the real estate sector. Improved sentiment, value buying in beaten-down stocks, and optimism around housing demand supported the rally. The index is up 1.00% over the last month but remains down 24.00% over the past year.
Financial Services | Nifty Financial Services (+3.15%): The index advanced, led by gains in HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, and Bajaj Finance. The rally was driven by strong buying in banking and NBFC stocks, supported by expectations of healthy credit growth, improved liquidity conditions, and optimism following recent RBI measures aimed at boosting financial sector growth.
Fin Services | Nifty Fin Services 25/50 (+3.01%): The index gained, led by HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, and Bajaj Finance. Positive sentiment in banking and financial stocks, expectations of sustained credit growth, improving liquidity conditions, and continued investor preference for large-cap financials supported the rally.
IT | Nifty IT (-0.09%): The index witnessed broad-based selling pressure, with 5 gainers & 5 Losers. Weakness in global technology stocks and rising concerns over the impact of AI on IT services demand, along with cautious commentary on sector growth prospects, weighed on investor sentiment.

Technical Level: Nifty opened with a gap-up opening and consolidated in a narrow range during the first half of the session. The index found support near 23,315, which also acted as the previous session’s resistance level. Buying momentum strengthened in the second half, leading to an upward rally that helped Nifty close the week on a positive note. Immediate resistance is placed around 23,645.
Advance-Decline Ratio: Market breadth was strongly positive, with 2,739 stocks advancing against 564 declining stocks, indicating broad-based buying across sectors and strong participation in the market rally.
The Big Picture: Investor sentiment improved after reports suggested the U.S. and Iran are close to a potential peace agreement that could lead to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the lifting of Iranian oil sanctions. The development eased concerns over global oil supply disruptions, with expectations of increased crude supply helping reduce pressure on energy prices and supporting risk appetite across global markets. However, investors remain watchful as the agreement is yet to be officially finalized.
FII/DII Activity (June 12, 2026): DII bought ₹5,341 crore, while FII sold ₹1,082 crore, highlighting strong domestic institutional support that comfortably absorbed foreign selling pressure and aided the market’s positive close.
