Stock market benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty were trading flat in a subdued trading on Tuesday (June 22, 2026), as investors stayed on the sidelines after the recent rally.
Weak trends in Asian markets and fresh foreign fund outflows also led to the subdued trading in equities during the early deals.

Last week, the benchmark indices rallied in four trading sessions out of five. In the previous trading session, the benchmarks also registered gains.
From the 30-Sensex firms, Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, HCL Tech, Tech Mahindra, Tata Steel and Hindustan Unilever were among the laggards.
Sun Pharma, Trent, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank and NTPC were among the winners.
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth ₹635.91 crore on Monday (June 21, 2026), according to exchange data.
