Indian markets are likely to open higher on June 12, supported by strong global cues after Donald Trump canceled planned strikes on Iran, boosting risk sentiment. GIFT Nifty indicated a 100-point gap-up start, while Wall Street and Asian markets rallied sharply. Investors will track US-Iran developments, inflation data, crude oil prices, derivatives positioning, and key stocks including Tata Capital, ITI, and Cyient.
The Indian stock market benchmark indices, the Sensex and Nifty 50, are likely to open on a positive note on Friday, tracking strong gains across global markets. Investor sentiment improved after optimism grew over a potential US-Iran peace agreement, following reports that US President Donald Trump called off planned military strikes against Iran.
As of 7:27 AM, Gift Nifty was trading near the 23,502 mark, at a premium of about 100 points to the previous close of Nifty futures, signaling a positive opening for the Indian equity benchmarks on Friday.
Asian equities rallied sharply, while Wall Street posted robust gains overnight, with all three major US indices recording their biggest single-day percentage advances since April 8.
US President Donald Trump on June 11 said he had called off planned military strikes on Iran, citing progress in high-level discussions with the Iranian leadership, just hours after threatening severe action against the country’s oil infrastructure. Meanwhile, tensions remained high in the Gulf region as another tanker, MV Jalveer, was attacked near Oman, marking the third such incident in four days.
India strongly protested a recent US strike on a tanker in the Gulf of Oman that resulted in the deaths of three Indian seafarers, and subsequently summoned the US Deputy Chief of Mission to lodge its concerns.
US producer inflation accelerated in May, with the Producer Price Index (PPI) for final demand rising 1.1% month-on-month, matching April’s revised increase and exceeding economists’ expectations of a 0.7% rise. On an annual basis, producer prices climbed 6.5%, marking the strongest increase since November 2022.
The European Central Bank (ECB) increased its key deposit rate by 25 basis points to 2.25%, its first rate hike in nearly three years. The move makes the ECB the first major central bank to tighten monetary policy in response to the economic disruptions caused by the US-Iran conflict.
According to the World Bank’s latest Global Economic Prospects report, India is expected to remain the fastest-growing major economy, with GDP growth projected at 6.6% in FY2026-27. However, this represents a moderation from the estimated 7.7% growth recorded in the previous fiscal year.
Oil prices extended their decline after President Trump canceled plans for military action against Iran. Brent crude futures slipped 1.3% to $89.17 per barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell 1.4% to $86.48 per barrel. For the week, Brent and WTI were down 4.2% and 4.4%, respectively.
Gold prices edged lower and were headed for a weekly decline amid concerns over persistent inflation and the possibility of further US Federal Reserve rate hikes. Spot gold dropped 0.3% to $4,200.82 per ounce and was set for a weekly loss of 2.8%. Meanwhile, US gold futures for August delivery gained 2.6% to $4,222.10 per ounce.
The US dollar stabilized after touching a one-week low. The greenback rose 0.1% against the Japanese yen to 160.07, while the euro traded at $1.1576. The British pound remained largely unchanged at $1.3414.
From a derivatives perspective, the Put-Call Ratio (PCR) stands at 0.92. On the Put (PE) side, significant open interest concentration remained at 23,000 strike at the nearest OTM Put.
On the Call (CE) side, among the nearest OTM strikes open interest addition was seen at 23,600 strike while highest open interest was concentrated on 24,000 strike price.
Technically, the 23,000–23,100 zone remains the immediate and crucial support area for the Nifty, as the index has repeatedly defended this level over the past few sessions. A decisive close below 23,000 could trigger fresh selling pressure and extend the decline towards 22,800 and 22,700. On the upside, resistance is placed at 23,304, which coincides with the 8-day EMA, followed by a stronger hurdle at 23,542 near the 20-day DMA. A sustained close above these levels would be required to signal a recovery, while the broader trading range remains capped between 23,070 and 23,560.
