Indian equity benchmarks ended higher on June 16, marking the third consecutive session of gains. Sentiment remained supported by easing geopolitical tensions following a US and Iran agreement and steady buying in IT, FMCG, realty and select heavyweight stocks.

Sectoral performance was largely positive during the session. Except for Auto, Pharma, PSU Bank and Metal, all major sectoral indices ended in the green.
Information Technology, FMCG, Consumer Durables, Energy, Media and Realty indices advanced in the range of 1–2%.
Broader markets underperformed the frontline indices. The Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap 100 indices rose 0.4% each, indicating a relatively muted participation compared to large-cap stocks.
