Why the Share Market (NSE and BSE) is Rising: Sensex Soars Over 1,200 Points, Nifty Crosses 23,500 as Crude Oil Falls and Global Sentiment Improves

Indian stock markets witnessed a strong rally on June 12, 2026, as easing geopolitical tensions in West Asia and falling crude oil prices boosted investor confidence.

The BSE Sensex surged 1,268 points, or 1.7%, to touch an intraday high of 75,100. The Nifty 50 also climbed 350 points, or 1.5%, to cross the 23,500 mark during the session.

Top Gainers in the Market

Among the major gainers on the Sensex were:

• Larsen & Toubro (L&T)
• IndiGo
• Bajaj Finance
• HDFC Bank

Meanwhile, Tech Mahindra and Power Grid were among the few stocks trading in the red.

The broader market also participated in the rally:

• Nifty Midcap 100 gained 1.5%
• Nifty Smallcap 100 rose 1.7%
• Nifty Realty emerged as the best-performing sector, advancing more than 2%

Easing West Asia Tensions Support Markets

Investor sentiment improved after US President Donald Trump indicated that a peace agreement between the US and Iran could be signed soon.

The possibility of a diplomatic solution reduced concerns over a prolonged conflict in West Asia and eased fears of disruptions in global oil supplies.

As a result, crude oil prices declined sharply.

Falling Crude Oil Prices Boost Sentiment

Brent crude oil slipped to around $89 per barrel following the positive geopolitical developments.

Lower oil prices are generally beneficial for India because they:

• Reduce inflationary pressures
• Lower the country's import bill
• Improve corporate profitability
• Support economic growth

Market participants are also hopeful that improving global conditions could encourage foreign investors to return to Indian equities.

Global Markets Rally

Indian markets also received support from strong gains across global markets.

Asian Markets

• South Korea's Kospi surged over 8%
• Japan's Nikkei gained nearly 3.5%
• China's CSI 300 rose around 1.5%
• Hong Kong's Hang Seng advanced close to 2%

US Markets

Wall Street ended sharply higher overnight:

• Dow Jones gained 1.9%
• S&P 500 rose 1.8%
• Nasdaq jumped 2.5%

The global rally followed signs of easing tensions between the US and Iran.

Rupee Strengthens Against Dollar

The Indian rupee appreciated sharply against the US dollar, gaining around 65 paise in early trade.

The currency strengthened to 95.20 per dollar after closing at 95.85 in the previous session.
