Data Overview (June 11, 2026)

The dataset presents total‑return and price‑return performance for a wide range of Indian market indices on 11 June 2026, covering broad market (bm), thematic (th), sectoral (sc), strategy (st) and fixed‑income (fi) families.

Broad Market Indices (bm)

  • Total Return: All flagship broad indices posted negative 1‑month returns, ranging from –2.55% (Nifty 50) to –4.40% (Nifty Microcap250). The 3‑month horizon showed a split: most indices remained negative, but several mid‑ and small‑cap series turned positive (e.g., Nifty Midcap 50 +5.53%). Over 1‑year, the broad market stayed in the –4% to –7% band, while 3‑year returns were solidly positive, especially for Nifty Microcap250 (+23.52%) and Nifty Capital Markets (+62.81%).
  • Price Return: Mirrors the total‑return picture with slightly deeper 1‑month declines (e.g., Nifty 50 –2.75%). The 3‑month and 1‑year figures are broadly consistent with total‑return trends. Notable outperformance remains with Nifty Microcap250 (+14.14% 3M) and Nifty Capital Markets (+13.62% 3M).
  • Key Takeaway: Broad equity indices are in a short‑term correction, but the longer‑term (3‑yr) trajectory stays robust, driven by high‑growth small‑cap and capital‑markets segments.

Thematic Indices (th)

  • Total Return: Thematic series displayed diverse behaviour. Nifty Infrastructure fell –2.91% 1M but posted +18.48% 3Y. Nifty Midcap Liquid 15 turned +8.61% 3M and +26.28% 3Y. Nifty CPSE suffered a steep –7.94% 1M yet surged +31.47% 3Y. Defensive themes such as Nifty Shariah 25 and Nifty 50 Shariah were down –3.27% and –3.93% 1M respectively, with modest 3‑year gains.
  • Price Return: Mirrors total‑return signs; the only positive 1‑month performer was Nifty REITs & InvITs (+1.00%). Most themes stayed negative 1M, but 3‑month and 1‑year returns were broadly positive for growth‑oriented themes (e.g., Nifty Midcap Liquid 15 +8.53% 3M, Nifty Capital Markets +13.62% 3M).
  • Highlights: Nifty Capital Markets posted the strongest 3‑year total‑return (+62.81%) and price‑return (+61.32%). Nifty Microcap250 also delivered a stellar 3‑year total‑return (+23.52%).

Sectoral Indices (sc)

  • Total Return: Sector‑specific indices were mixed. Nifty IT suffered a sharp –4.83% 1M and –26.73% 1Y, while Nifty Bank posted a modest +1.52% 1M and –1.49% 1Y. Nifty Pharma and Nifty Healthcare showed resilience with positive 1‑year returns (+11.11% and +9.01%). Nifty Metal posted a massive +35.40% 1Y, reflecting commodity‑linked strength.
  • Price Return: Similar patterns; Nifty IT –5.14% 1M, –28.27% 1Y; Nifty Bank +1.35% 1M, –2.27% 1Y. Notable positive 1‑year performers include Nifty Pharma (+10.20%) and Nifty Healthcare (+8.28%).
  • Key Observations: Defensive banking remained relatively stable, while technology lagged sharply. Metals and pharma led sectoral gains.

Strategy Indices (st)

  • Total Return: Strategy‑oriented indices (e.g., Nifty Growth Sectors 15, Nifty Div Opps 50, Nifty Alpha 50) were broadly negative 1‑month, ranging from –1.06% to –4.40%. However, many showed strong 3‑year upside, especially Nifty Alpha 50 (+19.89%) and Nifty Capital Markets‑related strategies (+62.81% in the broader thematic set).
  • Price Return: Leveraged and inverse products displayed volatile moves. Nifty50 PR 1x Inverse posted +3.12% 1M but –2.94% 3Y. Nifty50 PR 2x Leverage fell –5.94% 1M and –20.77% 1Y. Quality‑focused and low‑volatility baskets (e.g., NIFTY100 QUALTY30, NIFTY100 LOW VOLATILITY 30) were modestly negative 1M but turned positive over 3‑year horizons.
  • Takeaway: Strategy indices reflect the broader market’s short‑term weakness but many maintain multi‑year upside, particularly quality‑ and value‑oriented blends.

Fixed‑Income Indices (fi)

  • Price Return: Government‑bond indices posted modest 1‑month gains, typically around +1% (e.g., Nifty 8‑13 yr G‑Sec +1.21%). Longer‑term returns were modestly positive for 1‑year (e.g., Nifty 10 yr Benchmark +1.37%) and 3‑year (around +6‑7%). No 5‑year or 10‑year data were provided for most series.
  • Interpretation: Fixed‑income markets were relatively stable, offering small positive returns that contrast with equity‑market declines.

Overall Market Sentiment

  • Implication: Investors may view the 1‑month pull‑back as a buying opportunity for high‑growth segments while maintaining caution on technology and heavily leveraged strategy products.
