Stock Market Live, June 19: Sensex sheds over 800 pts, Nifty slips below 24,000 as IT stocks plunge over 6%


ensex Today, Nifty 50 | Stock Market Live Updates – Find here all the live updates related to Sensex, Nifty, BSE, NSE, share prices and Indian stock markets for 19th June 2026.

Indian equity markets opened lower on Friday, ending a five-session winning streak amid weakening global risk sentiment. This pullback comes after strong gains of 4.3% in the Nifty 50 and 4.8% in the Sensex, driven by easing oil prices following an interim Iran–US peace deal. 

Around 10.45 am, Sensex traded 740.14 pts or 0.96% lower at 76,669.84, and Nifty 50 depreciated 198.55 pts or 0.82% to 23,969.45. Nifty IT fell over 6%, while all major indices traded in the red except pharma and healthcare. The Indian rupee traded almost flat against the U.S. dollar at 94.36, balancing between improving inflows and a dollar rally driven by the Federal Reserve.

However, Brent crude rebounded toward $80 a barrel amid renewed geopolitical concerns after comments from US Vice President JD Vance raised doubts over the durability of the ceasefire involving Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Amid these developments, global cues were mixed, with Asian markets up 0.5% and Wall Street closing higher. Foreign investors sold Indian equities worth ₹1,025 crore on Thursday, while domestic institutions remained net buyers. 

IT stocks are expected to be in focus after Accenture’s weak revenue forecast and warning of a $400 million impact in the Middle East, dragging Infosys and Wipro shares lower in US trading. Given these factors, analysts expect some profit booking after the recent rally.

Key technical indicators for today’s trade

* Nifty 50 opened gap-down at 23,991 vs previous close of 24,168 and weakened further to 23,950, down 0.9%.

* Advance/decline ratio at 14/36 signals broad-based bearish bias across the index.

* IT sector remains the key drag: Nifty IT down 5.9%, with Infosys (-8.5%), TCS (-6.1%) and Tech Mahindra (-5.6%) leading losses.

* Sectoral divergence: Nifty Pharma and Nifty Media marginally positive (~0.3%), offering limited support.

* Overall market tone remains weak due to heavy IT selling pressure.

* Short-term structure shows downside bias but with defined support zones.

* Futures opened gap-down at 24,020 vs 24,193 and hover near 24,000 (-0.8%).

* Key support zone: 24,000 (50-DMA confluence) and 23,900.

* Resistance levels: 24,210 and 24,300.

* Expected range: 23,900–24,210

* Break below 23,900 may accelerate selling toward 23,800–23,700.

* Recovery possible only if 24,000–23,900 holds firmly.

* Bias remains cautious with sideways-to-negative undertone.

* Fresh aggressive longs not preferred unless support holds decisively.

    Precious Metals under pressure as hawkish FED signal outweighs US-Iran deal relief: Renisha Chainani, head of research at Augmont

    •Price Movement – Gold slipped below $4200, erasing the week’s earlier gains, while Silver fell toward $65 and is on track to shed roughly 4% for the week. The trigger was a hawkish pivot from the US Federal Reserve, which overshadowed the constructive signal from the US-Iran peace agreement. That deal had pushed oil prices lower and softened inflation expectations — factors that would ordinarily support metals — but rate concerns proved the stronger force

    •Currency Market Update – The Indian rupee climbed to 94.2 per dollar, touching a six-week high on the back of improving capital inflows and firmer investor sentiment. The move was partly technical — traders unwound residual long-dollar positions that had built up over previous sessions.

    •Domestic Imports – India’s gold imports have dropped sharply, falling to an estimated 25–30 metric tonnes per month from a prior run-rate of 75–100 metric tonnes — a decline directly linked to the hike in import duty. Adding to the structural shift, customs authorities have not yet notified banks as designated importers of gold effective April 1, 2026, leaving a procedural gap that continues to weigh on formal import channels.

    Technical Triggers

    •With Gold having broken below $4,200, the next key support zone sits at $4,050–$4,100, equivalent to approximately ₹1,43,000–₹1,44,000

    •Silver’s breach of the $65 support level shifts focus to the $60–$61 range, or roughly ₹2,23,000–₹2,25,000 on domestic markets.
