Indian equity benchmark indices, the Sensex and Nifty, extended the positive momentum from the previous session, started the trading session in the green on June 25, 2026, amid firm cues from international markets and a sharp decline in global crude oil prices. While the 30-share BSE Sensex jumped 399.85 points or 0.51 per cent to start the session at 77,391.07, the Nifty gained 104.2 points to open at 24,125.85.

“The near-term market setup appears encouraging, supported by positive global cues, resilient domestic liquidity, and improving sentiment across key sectors. The strong rebound witnessed in the previous session highlights the willingness of investors to accumulate on declines. While some consolidation near higher levels cannot be ruled out, sustained strength above immediate support zones may help maintain the positive momentum and keep the broader trend biased towards the upside,” said Hitesh Tailor, Technical Research Analyst at Choice Broking.
In early trade, market breadth was positive, with 1,660 stocks advancing against 1,176 stocks declining on the NSE. 89 stocks remained unchanged.
