Weekly market update, Jun 26, 2026

Indian equity markets posted their third straight weekly gain, the longest such streak since the first week of December 2025, supported by easing geopolitical tensions and increasing optimism surrounding a potential U.S.–India bilateral trade agreement. The sharp decline in crude oil prices also proved to be a major positive trigger for domestic equities. The NSE Nifty 50 and the BSE Sensex gained 0.18 and 0.39% respectively during the week. Broader markets underperformed the benchmarks during the week. BSE 150 Midcap and BSE 250 Smallcap lost 0.77% and 0.17% respectively. On the BSE sectoral front, it was mixed. BSE Auto was the major gainer, up 1.70% followed by Healthcare, up 1.50% and Bankex, up 0.81%. BSE Metal was the major loser, down 4.72%.

Looking ahead, Investor attention in the week ahead is likely to remain firmly focused on developments surrounding latest US-Iran escalation. In addition, Global markets are set for a more data driven as investors track key economic indicators, central bank commentary and corporate earnings for cues on growth, inflation and interest rates. In India, industrial production, fiscal deficit, PMI data and forex reserves will be in focus, while global investors will closely monitor US labour market data and manufacturing activity for signals on the Federal Reserve’s policy path.
