At the close, the Nifty 50 was at 22,620.35 up by 3.36%
The NSE Nifty 50 index displayed a robust start on June 5, rising by 3.36% and closing above the 22,600 mark. This rebound follows a significant downturn in the previous session, where the Indian equity market experienced its worst day in over four years, plunging around 6%. However, investors regained confidence as two crucial allies expressed support for forming a new government with the BJP, fostering expectations of political stability and continuity under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership for a third term.
Political Stability Boosts Market Confidence
The resurgence in the Indian market was underpinned by broad-based buying across various sectors. Investors welcomed the assurance of political stability, although attention remains focused on the government formation process and the upcoming RBI policy meeting. Market analysts anticipate no changes in the RBI’s policy stance, considering persistent high food inflation and the anticipation of increased government spending, which has fueled notable traction in FMCG stocks.
Broad-Based Buying and Sectoral Gains
The Indian market’s robust recovery was driven by broad-based buying across various sectors. Political stability appears assured, boosting investor confidence. Market participants are also focusing on the upcoming RBI policy meeting, where no change in policy stance is expected due to persistent high food inflation and anticipated government spending increases. This has particularly benefited FMCG stocks, reflecting notable traction in the sector.
Smart Rebound Reflects Investor Sentiment
Equity markets staged a smart recovery on Wednesday, driven by increased prospects of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) forming the next government. Nifty’s strong recovery, marked by a gap-up opening of 240 points and a subsequent bullish reversal, underscores investor optimism amidst evolving political dynamics and economic expectations.
Bank Nifty: Up by 4.53%
On the trading day, the Bank Nifty opened on a positive note, registering a notable gain of 4.53% and concluding the session in the green, closing at 49,054.60. Similarly, the BSE Sensex witnessed a significant uptrend, advancing by 3.20% and ending the day in positive territory at 74,382.24.

Leading the charge was the National Aluminium Company Ltd., which saw its shares climb by a staggering 10.69%. Hindustan Copper Ltd. followed closely, posting a substantial increase of 8.20%. The Steel Authority of India Ltd. also contributed significantly to this bullish trend, with its stock appreciating by 7.63%.

Rupee Recovers Amid Strong Equities and Lower Oil Prices
The rupee rebounded by 14 paise, closing at 83.37 against the US dollar on Wednesday. This recovery was driven by strong buying in domestic equities and a dip in crude oil prices internationally. However, gains were capped by the rising US dollar and fresh foreign fund outflows.
At the interbank forex market, the rupee opened at 83.50, hitting an intra-day high of 83.28 before settling at 83.37, marking a gain from the previous close.
Previous Day’s Decline and Market Dynamics
On Tuesday, the rupee had plunged by 37 paise, ending at 83.51 against the dollar. The domestic currency’s appreciation on Wednesday was aided by a partial recovery in local markets and possible intervention by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Despite this, the rupee faces ongoing pressure from the US dollar’s recovery and lackluster macroeconomic data, suggesting a slight negative bias moving forward.
Meanwhile, the dollar index, which measures the greenback against six major currencies, rose by 0.23% to 104.29. Brent crude futures, the global oil benchmark, showed a marginal increase of 0.06%, reaching USD 77.57 per barrel. These factors continue to influence the rupee’s performance in the forex market.
