Asian markets witnessed varied performance amid optimism surrounding easing geopolitical tensions, resilient economic data, and strength in technology stocks. Japan’s Nikkei extended its record-breaking rally, while investors monitored global trade developments, central bank commentary, and sector-specific opportunities across the region.
Global equities ended a mixed session as investors rotated out of technology stocks ahead of the Federal Reserve’s policy meeting under new Chair Kevin Warsh. The Dow Jones hit a fresh record high, while the Nasdaq and S&P 500 declined amid pressure on chip and growth stocks. Weak US housing data and major corporate developments added to cautious global sentiment.
Asian equities advanced as Japan’s Nikkei 225 moved within reach of 70,000, South Korea’s KOSPI extended its winning streak, and India’s Nifty 50 crossed 24,000 amid improving macro tailwinds. Investors remain focused on the Fed’s policy decision and the upcoming Iran deal signing, both key drivers for global risk sentiment.
Global markets surged after the United States and Iran announced a peace agreement that could reopen the Strait of Hormuz and normalize oil supplies. The Nasdaq recorded its strongest gain since March, while crude oil prices fell more than 5%. For India, lower energy costs could ease inflation, strengthen the rupee, and create room for RBI rate cuts. Meanwhile, investors are closely watching the Federal Reserve's first policy meeting under Chair Kevin Warsh and signs of economic weakness emerging in the UK.
Global markets reacted to a historic Bank of Japan rate hike, weak Chinese economic data, and a strong semiconductor-led rally in South Korea. Meanwhile, India's Nifty climbed for a third straight session, supported by lower oil prices, a stronger rupee, and optimism surrounding the US-Iran peace deal.
Asian equities saw a sharp sell-off on Monday as renewed Iran-Israel tensions and expectations of tighter US monetary policy hit global risk sentiment. South Korea’s KOSPI crashed over 8% while Japan, Hong Kong, China, and India also fell, with energy prices surging and tech stocks under pressure.
Indian benchmark indices ended higher for the fifth consecutive session as lower crude oil prices, easing geopolitical tensions, and optimism surrounding the India-UK Free Trade Agreement supported investor sentiment. Banking, realty, cement, and pharma stocks drove the rally, while IT stocks remained under pressure following hawkish US Federal Reserve commentary.
CDSL shares rose on positive investor sentiment driven by upcoming meetings with global institutional investors such as Citadel and Millennium Partners, robust financial performance, and SEBI's approval of key leadership appointments. The developments have strengthened confidence in the depository's growth prospects and governance framework.
The Indian stock market extended its winning streak on June 17, 2026, as Nifty closed above the crucial 24,000 mark and Sensex gained 347 points. Defence stocks emerged as top performers following record domestic defence production in FY26, while lower crude oil prices, hopes of a US-Iran peace deal, and positive global cues supported broad-based buying across sectors.
NSE Indices has expanded its portfolio by launching 11 new sectoral indices, raising the total to 34. The move improves sector tracking, supports ETFs, and reflects India’s economic diversification.
