Nifty PSU Bank: 8,474.00 (+170.05, +2.05%) | Prev close 8,303.95 | Top constituent gainers: Canara Bank +2.16% (Rs 130.07) | PNB +1.91% (Rs 105.14) | Bank of Baroda +1.64% (Rs 272) | SBI +0.85% (Rs 1,009.25) | Catalyst: Iran deal rate cut hopes, G-sec portfolio appreciation.<\/em><\/p>\n

The PSU banking index surged 2.05% to 8,474 on June 12, 2026, outperforming the broader Nifty 50’s 1.22% gain as PSU banking stocks responded strongly to Iran deal-driven rate cut expectations. Trump’s June 11 statement that a US-Iran deal is near caused Brent crude to fall below $90 per barrel, significantly reducing inflation expectations and building the case for an RBI rate cut. PSU banks are the most direct beneficiaries of rate cut expectations because they carry larger government securities portfolios than private banks: when bond yields fall on rate cut signals, these G-sec portfolios generate mark-to-market treasury gains. Canara Bank leads the Nifty PSU Bank<\/strong> with a 2.16% gain to Rs 130.07, followed by PNB (+1.91%) and Bank of Baroda (+1.64%). SBI, the index’s largest constituent, gained 0.85% to Rs 1,009.25.<\/p>\n
