Weekly market update, Jun 12, 2026

The Indian stock markets ended the volatile week on a positive note, breaking a two-week losing streak as investor sentiment improved amid optimism over a possible U.S.–Iran peace agreement and RBI measures aimed at boosting foreign currency inflows. Both indices closed higher for the week, with the Nifty 50 rising 1.10%, while the Sensex advanced 1.73%. The RBI introduced forex swap facilities for eligible external commercial borrowings (ECBs) and new FCNR(B) deposits, enhancing liquidity conditions and encouraging foreign currency inflows. Broader markets underperformed the benchmarks during the week. BSE 150 Midcap declined 0.34%, while the BSE 250 Smallcap rose about 0.21%. On the BSE sectoral front, it was mixed. BSE Bankex was the major gainer, up 4.08% followed by FMCG, up 1.19% and Healthcare, up 1.02%. Information technology was the major loser, down 3.73% followed by Metal, down 2.80%.

Looking ahead, domestic markets will most likely react to domestic macroeconomic data such as CPI Inflation, and later Wholesale Price Index inflation; while global cues will also remain important in the coming week, with the US Federal Reserve’s policy meeting and US industrial production data likely to provide direction to financial markets. Additionally, developments in the US-Iran negotiations, crude oil price movements and Foreign Institutional Investor flows will remain key factors influencing market sentiment.
