Friday was not kind to stock market at all . Sensex and Nifty both took proper hit,and honestly,last hour selling made it feel even more nervous than normal red day.
The 30-share Sensex plummeted by 1,092 points,or 1.44%,settling at 74,775.74 . Nifty also fell by 359 points,which means 1.50% decrease,finishing at 23,547.75 . Not small fall ah,especially when it comes so sharply near closing time.
And this is where investors seem to have gone into cautious mode only . Selling pressure became stronger in final hour of trading,and many people clearly started reassessing positions because both domestic and global worries are piling up together .
One big thing everyone is watching now is upcoming meeting of Reserve Bank of India’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC),scheduled from June 3 to June 5,2026 . This six-member panel,led by RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra,will discuss interest rates,inflation trends,liquidity conditions and overall economic growth prospects .
Few things standing out clearly rn:
- RBI's MPC meeting from June 3 to June 5,2026 has investors waiting for decisions on interest rates and growth.
- US-Iran tensions are still hanging over market mood and can change sentiment quickly.
- Crude oil prices fell over 2% to six-week lows on Friday,but investors are still watching every move.
And tbh,market is not just reacting to India factors here . US-Iran conflict is also making investors uncomfortable because any fresh twist can hit global sentiment very fast.
Reports said Iranian state media claimed potential memorandum of understanding with United States could involve release of $12 billion in frozen Iranian assets . But White House dismissed these claims as misinformation,so confusion has only increased instead of reducing .
Crude oil side also looked interesting on Friday . Prices dropped over 2% to six-week lows because hopes increased for ceasefire involving US,Israel,and Iran . Usually falling crude can help mood in India,but when reason is linked to war tension,comfort is never full .
So now market people are stuck watching RBI,oil prices,US-Iran news and global cues all at same time . Maybe next week gives some clarity,or maybe this uncertainty keeps dragging like this…
