Pre-Market 15 June 2026: Nifty Rallies 461 Points As Trump Signals US-Iran Peace Deal; What To Expect On Monday

Dalal Street heads into Monday after benchmark indices posted their strongest single-day gains in weeks on Friday, helped by optimism around a potential US-Iran peace agreement and a sharp improvement in global risk sentiment.

The Sensex jumped 1,695.40 points, or 2.30%, to close at 75,527.95, while the Nifty 50 advanced 461.30 points, or 1.99%, to settle at 23,622.90. The rally helped the Nifty snap a two-week losing streak and reclaim key technical levels.

After market hours, GIFT Nifty traded slightly below Friday's closing level, while investors continued to monitor developments around the proposed US-Iran agreement and upcoming central bank cues from the United States.

What Happened In Friday's Session?

Indian equities witnessed a broad-based rally on 12 June.

Apart from IT stocks, most sectoral indices ended higher as hopes of a breakthrough in negotiations between the United States and Iran lifted sentiment across global markets.

US President Donald Trump said negotiators had reached a settlement that was awaiting final documentation. He also said the Strait of Hormuz would reopen once the agreement is signed. Iran, however, maintained that a final decision had not yet been reached.

Reports suggesting that the peace agreement could be signed around next week's G7 meeting added to the positive mood.

Markets also responded to a sharp decline in crude prices, which eased concerns around inflation and external-sector pressures.

Global Markets

Wall Street finished higher on Friday as investors assessed signs of progress in talks between Washington and Tehran. Another major talking point was the Nasdaq debut of SpaceX, which became the largest public listing in Wall Street history.

At the close on 12 June 2026:

• Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 353.51 points, or 0.70%, to 51,202.26

• S&P 500 gained 37.16 points, or 0.50%, to 7,431.46

• Nasdaq Composite added 79.18 points, or 0.31%, to 25,888.84

SpaceX debuted at $150 per share, above its IPO price of $135. The stock climbed more than 20% shortly after listing and ended the session around 19% higher.

Asian markets also participated in the rally. Japan's Nikkei 225 Index gained 3%, driven by strength in technology shares and improving global sentiment.

European markets traded firmly higher.

• FTSE stood at 10,471.72, up 167.84 points

• CAC traded at 8,350.87, up 150.07 points
