Nifty Extends Gains for Second Day as Geopolitical Tensions Ease
Posted On : 2026-06-15 19:10:59( TIMEZONE : IST )
Mr. Nandish Shah - Deputy Vice President, HDFC Securities
Nifty extended its gains for a second consecutive session on Monday, building on Friday's strong up move, as easing geopolitical tensions lifted sentiment. The index advanced 231 points to close at 23,853. It opened with a sharp gap-up of 362 points, driven by firm global cues and a steep decline in crude oil prices, and marked its intraday high within the first minute of trade. However, the index soon entered a consolidation phase during the early hours. Post 11 AM, momentum tapered off, leading to an intraday decline of nearly 200 points from the day's high, reflecting profit booking at elevated levels. NSE cash market turnover rose 9% compared to the previous session.
Among index heavyweights, Trent, HDFC Life, and Shriram Finance led the gains, while NTPC, Bajaj Auto, and ONGC emerged as the key laggards.
On the sectoral front, barring Pharma, Healthcare, and Media, all indices ended in the green, with Realty, Consumer Durables, and Auto leading the advances.
Broader markets gained along with the Benchmark indices with the Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap 100 rising 1.30% and 1.10%, respectively. Market breadth remained strong, with the BSE advance-decline ratio stood at 2.33.
The Indian rupee appreciated by 40 paise, supported by easing geopolitical tensions that led to a decline in crude oil prices and the US dollar. Additionally, sustained dollar inflows into the debt market-driven by recent government and RBI measures-along with improving global risk appetite, provided further support to the domestic currency.
Despite the intraday pullback, Nifty held above its 50-day DEMA, positioned near 23,772, which was decisively surpassed during the gap-up opening. This indicates that the short-term bias remains positive. On the upside, immediate resistance is seen near the 24,100 level, while the 23,600-23,700 zone is expected to provide near-term support.
