Stock Market Today: Dalal Street Opens Firm; Sensex Jumps Over 500 Points, Nifty Flat, Rupee Edges Higher; IT Stocks Lead Early Rally

Stock Market Today : Market Snapshot (1 June, 2026)

Stock Market On Friday

Right when investors were thinking, okay, maybe a quiet end to the week, the bears showed up late, like too late, but still somehow in full drama mode. Indian benchmark indices ended Friday far into the red, and the selling pressure basically spread across nearly all segments, minus IT. The Sensex dropped 1,092 points and settled at 74,775.74. The Nifty also slipped 359 points, closing just under the 23,550 level at 23,547.75. And it wasn’t just the big names taking the hit either. Midcap and smallcap shares also slid as market mood got more subdued. Auto, metal, energy, and oil & gas led the fall, while IT carved out a rare bright spot. Tech Mahindra, Infosys, Wipro, and HCLTech managed to hang onto gains, so even during a rough session, someone still ends up in the winners’ circle.
