Markets off day’s highs in early noon deals
Jun-25-2026

Indian equity markets came off their intraday high points in early afternoon deals, however holding notable gains, aided by positive cues from other Asian markets along with heavy buying at Auto and Realty counters as crude oil prices fell to their lowest levels since before the Iran conflict, helping ease worries surrounding inflation, interest rates and economic growth. Traders were optimistic, as Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has met exporters and industry representatives to discuss ways to boost outbound shipments and fully utilise the benefits of free trade agreements (FTAs). The deliberations focused on strengthening support for MSMEs, maximise opportunities through FTAs, foster innovation and deep-tech capabilities, improve export facilitation, and expand India's role in global value chains.
