ensex Today, Nifty 50 | Stock Market Highlights: 24 June 2026
Indian equity markets ended higher on Wednesday as benchmark indices recovered sharply, supported by gains in banking and IT stocks and a decline in global crude oil prices. The Sensex climbed 790.54 points, or 1.04 per cent, to close at 76,991.22, while the Nifty advanced 197.55 points, or 0.83 per cent, to settle at 24,021.65.
Nifty IT emerged as the top sectoral performer, gaining over 2 per cent, followed by private banks, financial services, realty and cement stocks. Heavyweights including Infosys, TCS, ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, SBI and Adani Ports supported the rally.
Analysts said falling Brent crude prices near multi-month lows eased inflation concerns and improved market sentiment. The rupee also strengthened by 11 paise to 94.65 against the US dollar, aided by lower crude prices. Experts, however, advised caution amid ongoing consolidation.

Fund Manager’s View: Siddharth Vora, Fund Manager & Head of Asset Management, PL Capital
“Global equity leadership has become increasingly concentrated in AI and semiconductor-heavy markets. In May, South Korea gained 28.45%, Taiwan 14.92% and the Nasdaq 100 10.49%, reflecting strong earnings momentum and unprecedented AI investment. However, this strength is now highly concentrated: the top five stocks account for nearly 70% of the Korean index and about 60% of Taiwan’s market, with Samsung and SK Hynix contributing roughly 45% in Korea and TSMC alone representing nearly 42% in Taiwan. This concentration has amplified returns, but it also increases sensitivity to any moderation in AI capex, memory pricing or earnings expectations.
Valuations and price momentum also indicate that expectations are elevated. South Korea is trading around 5.9 standard deviations above its five-year average P/E and nearly 50% above its 200-day moving average, while Taiwan is around 2.9 standard deviations above its historical valuation and over 35% above its 200-day average. These are genuine growth markets, but the margin for disappointment has narrowed materially.
India offers a more diversified setup. The Indian market is spread across financials, consumption, industrials, healthcare, energy, technology and domestic cyclicals, rather than being dependent on one or two companies. In Q4FY26, the Nifty 500 delivered 14.3% year-on-year profit growth, with 21 of 29 sectors reporting double-digit earnings growth. At the same time, India’s valuation has normalised to below its five-year average, and the market remains below its 200-day moving average, suggesting that much of the earlier premium has already corrected.
The possible outcomes are therefore asymmetric. If AI growth broadens, India can participate through technology services, manufacturing and enterprise adoption. If the AI trade cools gradually, global flows may rotate toward diversified markets with improving earnings breadth. In a sharper correction, India would not be immune, but its lower concentration, domestic liquidity and broader earnings base could offer relative resilience.
India does not need to replace the AI trade. Its opportunity lies in becoming more valuable as global investors begin to favour breadth over concentration.”

India’s Top 500 Companies Valued at $3.4 Trillion: Burgundy Private Hurun Report
Burgundy Private, Axis Bank’s Private Banking Business, and Hurun India, today released the ‘2025 Burgundy Private Hurun India 500’, the fifth edition of the list of India’s 500 most valuable companies. These are collectively valued at $3.4 trillion, reflecting a corporate landscape where scale is matched by broader entrepreneurial participation, stronger fundamentals, and a widening footprint beyond traditional growth centres.
Now in its fifth edition, the 2025 Burgundy Private Hurun India 500 ranks India‑headquartered companies by market capitalisation or enterprise value, excluding state‑owned enterprises and subsidiary entities. To qualify for inclusion in the 2025 list, companies needed a minimum valuation of INR 10,230 crore (US$1.1 billion) as of April 30, 2026. This threshold grew by 7% compared to last year.
With an average age of 44 years, the cohort reflects a compelling blend of maturity and momentum within India’s corporate ecosystem. Collectively, these companies are strengthening the country’s economic fabric, employing 8.9 million people, contributing INR 3.23 lakh crore in taxes, and investing INR 13,433 crore in CSR initiatives.
Commenting on the launch, Arnika Dixit, Group Head – Cards, Payments and Wealth Management, Axis Bank, said:
“Burgundy Private is delighted to partner with Hurun India once again as we celebrate India’s 500 most valuable companies. The 2025 Burgundy Private Hurun India 500 report reflects a phase of steady evolution in India’s corporate landscape, where companies are building scale even as they adapt, invest through cycles, and find new ways to stay relevant. What is increasingly evident is how the drivers of value creation are becoming more varied, with momentum extending beyond traditional centres into a wider, more diverse set of businesses and markets.

Market analysis by Vikram Subburaj, CEO, Giottus.com
Bitcoin was trading around $62,500 on June 24. The price was down nearly 13.3% from the $72,145 levels seen at the start of June and almost 4.6% below the $65,500 levels touched earlier this week.
The immediate technical picture suggests caution. Bitcoin has established support around $61,900-$60,900, while resistance now sits at $64,200, followed by a stronger supply zone near $65,500-$67,000. Until either side breaks decisively, the market may continue to oscillate inside this broad 9-10% trading range.
More importantly, on-chain data suggests this is not a euphoric market undergoing a healthy correction. It is a market under stress. According to data, Bitcoin’s Net Unrealised Profit/Loss (NUPL) has dropped to 0.20. The proportion of supply in profit has fallen from 64% to 54% and realised losses have surged 78% month-on-month to $714 million. Also, realised profits have collapsed 57% to $194 million. The realised profit-to-loss ratio has shrunk to 0.27, indicating that investors are booking losses at a much faster pace than gains.
Institutional participation has also weakened considerably. US spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced approximately $5 billion of cumulative outflows across 19 of 22 sessions through mid-June. Even though there was a modest rebound of $68.2 million in inflows on June 23, the broader trend still points towards institutional hesitation rather than renewed conviction. Earlier this month, ETFs had already recorded 13 consecutive sessions of outflows worth $4.4 billion before briefly stabilising.
The market’s attention has now shifted entirely towards macroeconomic data. The next major event is the US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) inflation report on June 25. This is the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge. Economists expect headline PCE inflation to remain elevated around 4.1% year-on-year, while core PCE could stay near 3.4%. Persistent inflation would reinforce expectations of a prolonged higher-rate environment, which has historically weighed on risk assets, including crypto.
The broader macro backdrop has also become less supportive. Recent weakness in global technology stocks saw the Nasdaq decline 2.2%, the S&P 500 fall 1.4%, and investors rotate towards safer assets. Crypto, which increasingly trades in tandem with growth assets, has not been immune to this shift.
Altcoins are mirroring this cautious sentiment rather than diverging from it. Ethereum was trading near $1,670, declining about 3.5% over 24 hours. XRP was hovering around $1.10, down nearly 3%, while BNB traded near $578, losing about 2%. Stablecoins such as USDT and USDC continued to hold their pegs close to $1, reinforcing that investors are temporarily prioritising capital preservation over aggressive risk-taking.
Our advice: Investors should avoid reacting to every intraday move while Bitcoin remains trapped between $61,000 and $67,000. Instead of deploying capital all at once, staggered allocations and a higher cash buffer may prove prudent until ETF flows and inflation data begin showing sustained improvement.

Foreign portfolio investors pour ₹35,000 crore into Indian bonds in June after tax exemption
Foreign portfolio investors put in around ₹35,000 crore so far this month in Indian bonds after the government exempted them from income tax on interest income and capital gains arising from investments in these bonds, according to Clearing Corporation of India Ltd (CCIL) data.

FPI holdings in FAR securities stood at ₹3.58 lakh crore on Tuesday, up from ₹3.23 lakh crore on June 3, the data showed.

Pre market quote | Gaurav Udani, Founder – ThinCredBlu Securities
Nifty is expected to open lower around 23,760, down nearly 60 points, indicating a cautious start amid weak sentiment and mixed global cues.
The index has witnessed increased volatility in recent sessions, and traders should remain cautious as the market continues to react to both global developments and domestic triggers.
Technically, 23,600–23,700 remains an important support zone. A break below this range could invite further selling pressure. On the upside, 24,000–24,100 will act as the immediate resistance zone, where recovery attempts may face supply.
The overall setup remains uncertain, with the market lacking a strong directional trend. Until key resistance levels are reclaimed, traders should avoid aggressive long positions and focus on disciplined risk management.
For now, a cautious and level-based approach is advisable, with close attention to support levels and global market developments.

Dollar at 13-month high as rate hike bets, stock rout boost demand
The U.S. dollar extended gains to reach a fresh 13-month high against a basket of major currencies on Wednesday as investors sought shelter from a tech stock sell-off and positioned for Fed rate hikes. A broad sell-off in technology and semiconductor shares has dragged global stocks lower as investors take profits on a long rally, sparking safe-haven demand for dollar and bonds. Meanwhile, expectations of a U.S. rate hike continued to build with Federal Reserve officials sounding increasingly hawkish amid the strength of the U.S. economy. Markets are pricing in a 37% chance of a 25-basis-point hike at the July meeting, up from 8.5% a week ago, and 70% for September up from 29.1%, according to CME FedWatch.
The dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of currencies including the yen and the euro, climbed to a high of 101.44, the strongest level since May 13, 2025. (Reuters)

Colin Shah, MD, Kama jewelry, on performance outlook of Gold and Indian jewellery exports during CYH2 2026
Currently, the yellow metal is trading in a tense environment, and after undergoing an economic turmoil for almost the entire H1 and a correction of ~15% in USD terms, gold performance is expected to gradually get back on track in H2, provided there is a concretized peace deal in place. Traditionally, gold prices do witness an upward swing during the August to October phase, given the festive season, along with the holiday season in the West. However, amid the optimism, it remains crucial to wait and watch how the situation unfolds.
The Indian jewellery exports are expected to be cautiously optimistic. While the sector is likely to face pressure from high gold prices, leading to some softening of demand in both international and domestic markets, India’s prowess will be reflected in the diversification of markets through new FTAs that will support recovery momentum alongside the demand revival in mainstream export destinations. We shall witness a rise in demand for lightweight studded jewellery, given the conservative yet excited buying behaviour of customers.

Market wrap by Ankur Punj, MD & Business Head at Equirus Wealth
Markets witnessed a rout due to weak global cues, as the slump in the South Korean benchmark index coupled with lingering concerns over the lack of progress in the West Asia peace deal triggered massive selling in IT, banking, metals and telecom stocks. Renewed fears of an upsurge in crude oil prices after the recent fall also prompted investors to prune their equity bets. If inflation ascends due to higher crude oil prices, concerns over a US Fed interest rate hike over the next few months could lead to extended FII fund outflows from India.

Stock Markets LIVE: KOSPI meltdown drags Indian indices into red; Nifty falls 279 points
South Korea’s KOSPI plunged more than 10 per cent on Tuesday, briefly triggering a circuit breaker, and the shockwaves were felt acutely in Mumbai — dragging the Nifty 50 down 278.80 points, or 1.16 per cent, to close at 23,824.10, while the Sensex shed 893.39 points to settle at 76,200.68.
Both benchmark indices closed near their day’s lows after a session that began on a flat note before selling intensified sharply in the second half. The broader market followed suit, with the Nifty Midcap 100 falling 1.05 per cent to 62,070 and the Nifty Smallcap 100 declining a comparatively modest 0.48 per cent to 18,805, suggesting selective buying at lower levels in smaller stocks.
The IT sector bore the brunt of the selling, declining more than 2 per cent, after brokerages Jefferies and Morgan Stanley flagged softer demand trends following a weaker-than-expected outlook from Accenture. The selloff was compounded by broader concerns over AI-related valuations in U.S. equities spilling across global markets. Nifty Metal was another major laggard, falling as much as 3 per cent, tracking a drop in global metal prices. PSU Banks and Media also ended significantly lower. Pharmaceutical and healthcare stocks bucked the trend, attracting defensive buying after reports emerged that the U.S. FDA had approached Indian drug manufacturers through the Indian Drug Manufacturers’ Association to address a shortage of ifosfamide injection, a chemotherapy drug used in the treatment of multiple cancers.
