On June 4, 2026, the Indian stock market exhibited a mixed performance as the Sensex rose by 100 points to close at 74,426.44, and the Nifty reached 23,440. Gains in sectors such as FMCG, auto, and consumer durables helped offset the weakness in information technology (IT) and metal shares. Notably, the Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap 100 indices saw increases of 0.9% and 0.6%, respectively. However, the IT index fell by 0.4%, reflecting ongoing pressure in that sector. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) continued to sell, offloading shares worth ₹23,141 crore in May, marking a significant trend of outflows. In regulatory news, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) took action against Rajesh Exports' chairman for alleged financial misrepresentation, with claims of inflated revenues amounting to ₹15 lakh crore. This situation underscores the ongoing volatility and regulatory scrutiny in the Indian market.
