The Indian stock market ended Monday’s session on June 22, 2026, on a positive note, supported by strong sectoral buying. The NIFTY 50 closed at 24,102.90, gaining 89.80 points or 0.41%, as improving global cues boosted investor sentiment.
Progress in US–Iran peace talks helped ease geopolitical concerns, encouraging buying across risk assets. Additionally, strong gains in pharmaceutical and information technology stocks supported the index’s recovery after recent weakness.
The benchmark index opened higher and maintained its upward momentum throughout the session. Investor sentiment improved as geopolitical risks appeared to ease and oil price concerns moderated.
Pharmaceutical and IT stocks emerged as key drivers of the rally, supported by selective buying interest. Despite gains, weakness in FMCG and discretionary stocks capped the upside to some extent.
