India’s stock market indices snapped a losing streak and closed higher on June 12, 2026. The SENSEX jumped 1,695 points or 2.3% to 75,527.95, while NIFTY50 surged 461 points or 2% to 23,622.90. The rally followed reports of a draft US-Iran peace agreement and a sharp drop in crude oil prices, which fell 4.3% to $83.91 per barrel.

What Drove the Market Higher

Reports of a draft US-Iran memorandum of understanding (MoU) sparked investor optimism. The deal includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz, canceling oil sanctions, and releasing frozen Iranian funds. Crude oil prices fell 7% in one week and 19% in one month on the peace deal expectations. Lower oil prices ease inflation concerns and boost corporate margins in India.

Banking and Metal Stocks Lead the Rally

Banking and metal stocks drove the index gains on Friday. Kotak Mahindra Bank led the rally among heavyweights. The broader market also gained, with the Nifty Midcap 100 ending flat and the Nifty Smallcap 100 advancing 0.5%. Market capitalisation of BSE-listed companies surged by 9.66 lakh crore to 4.62 trillion rupees ($4.84 trillion).

Technical Outlook and Analyst View

Meyka rates both indices at C+ with a HOLD suggestion. The SENSEX 12-month forecast stands at 93,220, while NIFTY50 targets 28,457. The SENSEX RSI at 38.74 signals oversold conditions, and NIFTY50 RSI at 51.68 shows neutral momentum. With Meyka’s HOLD rating and crude oil stabilizing, the data points to a consolidation phase ahead.

Geopolitical Relief Boosts Sentiment

The draft Iran-US deal removes a major risk from markets. Analysts at Upstox noted the rally reflects relief from geopolitical tensions. Three Indian ships faced attacks off the Oman coast this week, killing three seafarers. A peace deal reduces such risks and supports investor confidence in Indian equities.

Final Thoughts

The SENSEX and NIFTY50 rallied on Iran-US peace hopes and falling oil prices. Meyka’s C+ rating and HOLD suggestion reflect limited upside from current levels. Investors should monitor crude oil trends and geopolitical developments closely.
