Stock Market Outlook Today, 22 June, 2026: Sensex, Nifty Prediction for Monday

After a strong five-session rally, benchmark indices witnessed profit booking on Friday, mainly due to weakness in IT stocks and volatility caused by FTSE and MSCI rebalancing. Despite the decline, the Nifty 50 managed to defend the crucial 24,000 mark, indicating underlying strength in the market.

The BSE Sensex fell 0.78% to close at 76,802.90, while the Nifty 50 declined 0.64% to settle at 24,013.

Positive Global Signals, Lower Crude Oil and Rupee Strength Support Market Sentiment

Overall sentiment remains favourable as easing tensions between the US and Iran, a decline in crude oil prices below the $80-per-barrel mark and a sharp recovery in the Indian rupee improved investor confidence. Supportive global cues have also helped maintain risk appetite in emerging markets like India.
