EQUITY
Post Session: Quick Review
Jun-16-2025

Indian equity benchmarks ended with significant gains on Monday, rebounding after two consecutive sessions of losses, as investors shrugged off escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Despite making a cautious start, soon indices moved into positive territory and maintained their upward momentum throughout the session, supported by strong buying in IT, Realty, and Banking stocks. Additionally, traders took note of report that Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has said that the Modi government is committed to giving greater emphasis to small entrepreneurs.

Some of the important factors in today’s trade:

India's WPI inflation eases to 14-month low of 0.39% in May: Traders took support from positive wholesale price inflation (WPI) data. Wholesale price inflation declined to 0.39 per cent in May as prices of food articles, manufactured products, and fuel eased.

India's forex reserves jump $5.17 billion to $696.65 billion: Some support came as the RBI said that India's forex reserves increased by $5.17 billion to $696.65 billion for the week ended June 6. 

India firmly on track to become world’s third-largest economy: Traders were getting encouragement as Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that India has become the fifth-largest economy globally and is rapidly moving towards becoming the third-largest economy soon. 

Global front: European markets were trading in green on Monday as world leaders gathered in Canada for the G7 summit, which will address global security, economic resilience, and tech cooperation. Asian markets ended in mixed on Monday, as the Israel-Iran conflict continued to escalate, with Israeli military claiming its attack on Iran eliminated high-value targets, and Iranian authorities confirming damage to four critical buildings at the Isfahan uranium conversion facility.
