What Drove the Market Rally on June 15
US President Donald Trump confirmed the completion of the peace deal with Iran, declaring the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the immediate removal of the US naval blockade. That single development reshaped global risk appetite overnight.
- Brent crude plummeted 4.70% to $83.23 per barrel on the news.
- Nifty Smallcap 100 and Nifty Midcap 100 indices advanced 1.62% and 1.43%, respectively.
- Analysts now see an upside Nifty target of 24,600 on the back of the rally.
- China’s Shanghai SSE Composite also gained 0.92% in early trade, adding to the global tailwind.

Broader Context: Defence Stocks in Focus
Defence sector stocks were broadly in the green on June 15, 2026. C2C Advanced Systems led gains at +7.06%, while Apollo Micro Systems rose 4.83% and Swan Defence jumped 4.64%. Bharat Forge’s 3.7% gain placed it firmly among the top performers in the sector.
The US-Iran peace deal, falling crude, and Bharat Forge’s ₹10,961 crore defence order book together form a powerful near-term catalyst. At ₹2,021, the stock is knocking on record territory. With FY27 growth guidance at 25% and a PE of 113.6, the market is clearly pricing in a strong execution cycle ahead.
