Indian Markets Rally on RBI Liquidity Measures and Banking Stocks Lead Gains
Indian equity markets rebounded on June 9, 2026, led by strong gains in banking stocks following the Reserve Bank of India's new measures to attract cheaper foreign currency deposits and ease liquidity. The Bank Nifty surged over 544 points, with public sector banks like Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank, and Punjab National Bank posting notable gains. Market recovery was supported by easing Middle East tensions and lower crude prices, though concerns remain over foreign institutional investor outflows and global macroeconomic factors. Broader indices also advanced, while IT stocks continued to face pressure.
