The rally was fueled by easing tensions in the Middle East, particularly the ceasefire between Israel and Iran, announced on June 20, 2025. This improved global investor confidence. Buying in heavyweight stocks like Reliance Industries, Infosys, and HDFC Bank also supported the gains. Positive global cues and strong performance in sectors such as IT and media further contributed to the market momentum. (Source: Business-Standard.com)
The Indian rupee closed 0.21% higher against the US dollar at 86.09 per dollar. The Reserve Bank of India's measures to manage short-term liquidity contributed to this stabilization. Technical analysts suggest the Nifty50 index is on the path toward a decisive upside breakout, with targets around 25,600–25,700 in the near term. (Source: Business-Standard.com)
