Indian Market Update & Top Trade Recommendations — June 2, 2026
📊 Market Overview — June 2, 2026
Indian equity markets opened the week on a cautious note as the BSE Sensex fell 497 points (0.66%) to close at 74,279 on Monday. The Nifty 50 is trading in a bearish range of 23,150–23,550, weighed down by broad-based selling in FMCG, financials, and auto stocks. Meanwhile, IT and metals are bucking the trend with notable buying interest.
Market participants are keeping a close eye on the RBI Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting scheduled for June 3–5, India’s GDP release, and fresh PMI data — all of which are set to drive sentiment for the remainder of the week.
