📊 Indian Market Close — June 12, 2026
Indian equity markets ended the week on a cautious note as persistent FII outflows, elevated crude oil prices, and ongoing US-Iran geopolitical tensions kept buyers on the sidelines. However, strong DII buying and robust FMCG and banking sector support prevented a sharper fall.

📌 EarnFree.in Outlook
The Nifty 50 is trading in a range of 23,063–23,574. DII buying is the only floor keeping the market from breaking lower. A decisive breakout above 23,575 is needed to turn bullish. Maintain a stock-specific approach — banking, FMCG, and pharma remain the safer pockets. Avoid chasing IT stocks amid global tech uncertainty.
