Indian benchmark indices closed higher on Tuesday, 2 June 2026, snapping a four-day losing streak. The BSE Sensex jumped 382.50 points (0.52%) to settle at 74,649.84, while the NSE Nifty 50 rose 100.95 points (0.43%) to close at 23,483.55.

The market opened 153 points lower for Nifty but staged a strong afternoon recovery from intraday lows, forming a long bullish candle with above-average volumes.


Why Did the Markets Rise Today?

1. Geopolitical Tensions Ease

President Donald Trump revived hopes of a US-Iran peace deal, stating negotiations were ongoing and expecting a ceasefire extension “over the next week.” This reversed his more combative stance from Monday and eased geopolitical anxieties.

2. Crude Oil Prices Cool Down

International oil prices fell over 1.5%, with:

  • Brent crude: Down to $93.45/barrel (-1.5%)
  • WTI crude: Cooled to $90.74/barrel

Lower oil prices ease pressure on India’s fiscal position, reduce inflation risks, and improve scope for monetary easing.

3. IT Stocks Lead the Rally (4.2% Surge)

The Nifty IT index surged 4.2%, bringing cumulative gains over three sessions to 7.6%. Technology shares were the primary engine of the afternoon rebound.
