Indian stock markets witnessed a strong rally on Thursday, July 2, 2026, extending gains for the second consecutive session. The market sentiment was boosted by a sharp rebound in IT stocks and a further cooling of global crude oil prices, following positive developments regarding the US-Iran conflict resolution.
Market Closing Figures (July 2, 2026)
NSE Nifty 50: Closed at 24,175.70, gaining 169.85 points (+0.71%).
BSE Sensex: Closed at 77,502.12, up 579.48 points (+0.75%).
Key Market Drivers
IT Sector Surge: The Nifty IT index was the top performer, rallying over 4.5% as blue-chip IT companies saw strong buying interest after recent sessions of selling.
Easing Crude Oil Prices: Brent crude continued its downward trend, falling below the $71 per barrel mark, which improved the inflation outlook for the Indian economy.
Domestic & Global Cues: Positive sentiment was further supported by landmark economic and defense initiatives announced between India and Japan, alongside a generally optimistic broader market breadth (33 Nifty 50 stocks advanced while 17 declined).
