Sensex Surge 1200 Points On June 15 2026 Following US-Iran Peace Deal Announcement

Sensex and Nifty opened sharply higher on June 15, 2026, tracking stronger global sentiment. The gains followed the US-Iran peace deal, which lifted risk appetite across markets. Brent crude also slipped below USD 84 in early trade, easing concerns for import-heavy economies like India.

The 30-share BSE Sensex jumped 1,197.32 points, or 1.58 per cent, to open at 76,725.27. The Nifty rose 361.95 points and began trade at 23,984.85. In the previous session, the Sensex had ended at 75,527.95. The Nifty 50 had closed at 23,622.90.

Sensex and Nifty rally as broader markets gain

The Nifty later moved above the 24,000 mark for a short period. Broader indices also opened with firm gains. The BSE Midcap Select Index climbed 287.45 points. The BSE Smallcap Select Index rose 122.44 points, or 1.45 per cent, to trade at 8,556.85.

All 30 Sensex stocks traded in positive territory during early deals. Eternal, Asian Paints, Indigo, L&T and HDFC Bank were among the top gainers. Eternal led the index with a 3.30 per cent rise in early trade. The broad-based buying showed strong investor interest.

Market breadth also stayed positive in the opening session on the NSE. As many as 2,560 stocks advanced, while 343 stocks declined. Another 77 shares remained unchanged. This showed that buying was not limited to large-cap stocks alone.

Sensex and Nifty get early signal from Gift Nifty

Gift Nifty had already pointed to a strong start for the Nifty 50. It opened 166.4 points higher at 23,795. Its previous close stood at 23,628.50. The early move indicated that domestic indices could begin the day with a gap-up opening.

Foreign Institutional Investors continued to sell Indian shares, though the pace eased recently. FIIs sold equities worth Rs 1,082.18 crore on June 12. Domestic Institutional Investors remained steady buyers. DIIs purchased shares worth Rs 5,341.29 crore, helping offset much of the foreign selling pressure.

Sensex and Nifty track strong Asian market cues

Asian markets also rose sharply on Monday after the Iran war deal was announced. The pact included steps linked to reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The development supported global equities, as investors assessed lower risks to oil supply and trade flows.

Japan’s Nikkei 225 gained 3,469.96 points, or 4.99 per cent, to trade at 69,490. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng advanced 1,182.32 points, or 2.68 per cent. South Korea’s Kospi also traded higher, rising 443.55 points during the session.

China’s Shanghai SSE Composite index also moved up in early trade. It gained 37.07 points, or 0.92 per cent. The wider rally across Asia added support to Indian equities, which opened with strong momentum after the global risk mood improved.

"Overall, the technical setup indicates a strong positive opening with bullish momentum likely to remain dominant. Improvement in market breadth, declining volatility, strengthening momentum indicators, and supportive derivatives positioning favour the bulls," said Aakash Shah, Technical Research Analyst at Choice Equity Broking Private Limited.

The early session showed strong gains across benchmarks, broader indices and most regional markets. Lower crude prices, firm Asian cues and steady DII buying supported sentiment. Sensex and Nifty started June 15, 2026, with clear strength after the US-Iran peace deal lifted global confidence.
