💸 Market Transactions:

  • Domestic Institutional Investors (DII): Bought ₹3,041.44 crore

DII buying cushioned the fall, but FII outflows added pressure amid global concerns.

📊📑 Important Observations and Market Sentiments: Editor Special

  • Markets faced downward pressure from weak global cues and FII outflows, driven by heightened geopolitical tensions after Israel’s military strike on Iran. Brent crude surged to $76/barrel (a 2025 high), raising inflation fears, while gold hit $2,680/oz on safe-haven demand.

  • India’s May CPI eased to 3.8% (below RBI’s 4% target), offering a positive macro signal, but external headwinds dominated. Sectors like energy and banking underperformed due to oil price concerns and risk aversion. Analysts expect Nifty to consolidate between 24,500–24,900, with support at 24,300—focus on geopolitical stability and oil prices.

DO YOU KNOW?

Brent crude’s rise to $76/barrel today, driven by Israel-Iran tensions, marks a 10% jump this month, potentially increasing India’s oil import bill by $2 billion in Q2 FY26 if sustained.
