BSE Large-cap, Mid-cap and Small-cap index lost 1 percent each.

Indian equity indices closed lower for the second consecutive session due to negative cues from global markets and higher-than-expected interest rate hikes in Britain. Adani Group and Eros International Media were the top losers. Hawkish central bank policies have soured risk appetite and resulted in the decrease of market capitalization by Rs 2.78 lakh crore to Rs 289.47 lakh crore.

The BSE midcap and smallcap indices shed over a percent each.

Seven stocks, including Indiabulls Housing Finance, India Cements, and L&T Finance Holdings, are under a futures and options (F&O) ban for trading on 21 June. The ban occurs when open interest on futures or options contracts exceeds 95% of total positions limits and only ends once that figure falls below 80%. The banned stocks will still be available for trading in the cash market, however. The Nifty50 advanced 0.33% to $18,816.70 and Nifty Bank rose 0.30% to $43,766.50.

On the broader market outlook, Vinay Rajani the technical & derivative analyst says that the Nifty needs to breakout from the 18,669 - 18,888 range to gain momentum.
