Nifty 50 This Week: +0.24% Gain Despite Fed Shock and IT Crash, Weekly Review 15-19 June 2026

The nifty 50 this week, 15-19 June 2026, delivered a positive result that required navigating two major headwinds: a hawkish US Fed that removed the last projected rate cut and raised hike odds to 66 percent, and a sharp IT sector correction that took the Nifty 50‘s IT heavyweights down 4-7 percent on Friday. Yet the nifty 50 this week ended above 24,000, gained 0.24 percent and closed near the intraday recovery high of Friday’s session.

What Drove the Nifty 50 This Week

• US Fed decision: The most impactful event for the nifty 50 this week came after Thursday’s close; the market’s initial reaction was positive (Thursday rally) before the second-order IT repricing on Friday
• Sensex weekly expiry (Thursday): Expiry-day dynamics helped drive the index to the week’s high; the nifty 50 this week benefited from put writing at 24,000 and call short-covering above it
• IT sector correction (Friday): The hawkish dollar compressed global tech valuations; Infosys -6.75 percent and TCS -3.56 percent were the key drags on the nifty 50 this week
• Banking resilience: Bank Nifty’s strong weekly performance and its +123-point Friday futures premium provided a floor for the nifty 50 this week
