📊 The Week That Was: June 22 – June 26, 2026
🌞 When Dalal Street Finally Found Its Smile Again!
After spending the previous week behaving like someone who had lost their phone charger, Dalal Street finally cheered up! 😄📈
With geopolitical tensions cooling, crude oil prices taking a well-deserved nap, and foreign investors returning with their shopping bags, the market enjoyed one of its happiest weeks of June.
And with Friday being a market holiday, investors happily locked in their gains and headed into a long weekend without constantly refreshing the Sensex. ☕🏖️
Here's how the week ended:
📈 BSE Sensex: around 78,650
📈 Nifty 50: comfortably above 24,600
Both indices gained roughly 1–1.5%, recovering much of the weakness seen earlier this month.
Mood of Dalal Street: "Life is good again... at least until Monday." 😄
🧭 What Put Everyone in a Better Mood?
🛢️ Crude Oil Finally Calmed Down
For weeks, crude oil had been behaving like that neighbour who plays loud music at 2 a.m.
This week, it finally decided to lower the volume. 🎵😌
Lower oil prices meant:
✅ Lower inflation worries
✅ Less pressure on India's import bill
✅ Better outlook for company profits
✅ A happier rupee
Investors collectively sighed,
"Finally... some good news!" 😅
🌍 Geopolitical Headlines Became Less Scary
The easing of tensions in the Middle East helped markets breathe easier.
Instead of checking breaking news every five minutes, investors finally returned to doing what they enjoy most...
...arguing about valuations. 📊😂
💰 FIIs Returned Like Long-Lost Friends
