Stock Market Today, 9 November 2026: GIFT Nifty Signals a Firm Start, Sensex and Nifty Pre-Market Cues, FII DII Data and Stocks in Focus

NSE pre-market report · Data as of 8:45 AM IST · NSE and BSE open at 9:15 AM IST

Good morning, and a very happy Samvat 2083. Let us sit down with a cup of chai and go through the share market today before the bell rings at 9:15 AM.

A quick note on the calendar, because this week is a slightly unusual one. Sunday, 8 November was Diwali Muhurat trading — that one-hour ceremonial session the exchanges hold on Laxmi Pujan — so our “previous close” today comes from a Sunday, not a Friday. And tomorrow, Tuesday 10 November, is a trading holiday for Diwali-Balipratipada. That holiday has pushed this week’s F&O expiry for Nifty forward to today itself.

So what do the cues say? GIFT Nifty today is trading higher, which points to a positive start. Nifty 50 and Sensex ended the Muhurat session almost flat after giving up a strong intraday move. FII DII data shows foreign investors buying heavily in the last full session. Let us look at each piece.

1. Global Market Cues Today: US Markets, Asian Markets, Crude Oil and Rupee

Indian markets rarely move in isolation. When Wall Street closes and Asia opens, our traders are already watching. Here are the global market cues today.

US markets finished Friday, 6 November in mixed fashion. Technology shares bounced back after a mid-week AI-driven sell-off, which lifted the Nasdaq, while the Dow slipped. Note that it was still a losing week overall for all three indices.

Asian markets are rebounding smartly this morning, led by Japan. A strong Asia usually helps sentiment at our open.

Levels for other Asian indices were not available at the time of writing, so we have left them out rather than guess.

Crude oil and the rupee are the two cues that matter most for India, because we import most of our oil and pay for it in dollars.

Brent fell more than 13% in the week ended 6 November, a sharp cooling after earlier supply worries. Cheaper crude is generally read as good news for India’s import bill. The rupee, meanwhile, strengthened 52 paise on Friday to close at ₹93.89 (provisional) against the dollar, from ₹94.41 the previous day — helped along by the foreign inflows we will come to shortly.

2. GIFT Nifty Today (SGX Nifty): The First Pre-Market Indicator

GIFT Nifty is the Nifty futures contract that trades on the NSE International Exchange at GIFT City in Gujarat. It used to be called SGX Nifty when it traded in Singapore. Because it trades for far longer hours than our cash market, it is the first rough signal of where Nifty may open. Think of it as a weather report, not a guarantee.

GIFT Nifty at around 25,094 against a Nifty close of 24,986.40 suggests a gap-up opening of roughly 100 points. One caution worth repeating: GIFT Nifty often moves a lot between 8 AM and 9:15 AM, so treat this as a snapshot rather than a settled answer.

3. Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex Today: Previous Close

Here is where we stand. The Muhurat session on Sunday, 8 November was a story of a good start that faded. Sensex touched 81,442 and Nifty touched 25,131.85 intraday, then slipped to close marginally lower. Broader markets, though, did better than the headline indices — smallcaps in particular had a good hour.

Market breadth was clearly positive even though the indices closed flat: 3,136 stocks advanced against 913 that declined. That tells you buying was spread wide across the market, just not concentrated in the heavyweights.

For context, the last full trading session — Friday, 6 November — was a big one. Sensex jumped 1,718.01 points (+2.17%) to 81,028.02 and Nifty gained 493.75 points (+2.01%) to 25,030.35. Nifty is up about 6.8% so far in November.

Friday’s Nifty 50 gainers were Mahindra & Mahindra, ICICI Bank, HDFC Life and HDFC Bank; the laggards were Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles, Eicher Motors, Shriram Finance and Grasim Industries. Percentage moves for these were not published by our source.

Nifty Support and Resistance Levels for Today

A quick explanation first, since this is where new investors often get confused. Support is a price zone where buyers have historically stepped in; resistance is a zone where sellers have historically appeared. These are simply levels that market participants are watching. They are for reference, not forecasts — the market is under no obligation to respect any of them.

India VIX is the market’s “fear gauge”. It measures how much volatility traders expect over the next 30 days. A VIX moving up from 17.47 to 18.40 means option prices are building in slightly bigger swings — which is normal going into an expiry day.

People often search for Nifty prediction today. We do not make predictions, and SEBI rules rightly discourage them. What we can do is lay out the data honestly and let you form your own view.

4. FII DII Data Today: Friday, 6 November 2026 (₹ Crore)

FIIs are Foreign Institutional Investors — overseas funds investing in Indian stocks. DIIs are Domestic Institutional Investors, which means our own mutual funds, insurance companies and pension funds. Tracking who is buying tells you a lot about where the money is flowing.

There was no FII/DII cash-market data for the Sunday Muhurat session, so the latest available figures are from Friday, 6 November.

Gross buy and gross sell break-ups were not published by our sources for this date, so only net figures are shown.

This is an interesting picture. Foreign investors have turned strong buyers in the cash market over the past six sessions — nearly ₹50,000 crore — reversing what was a heavy selling month before that. Domestic institutions have been taking money off the table into that strength. One detail worth noting: FIIs still hold a large net short position in index futures even while buying cash stocks, which is a combination traders watch closely.

5. Stocks in News Today: Stocks to Watch on 9 November 2026

These are stocks in the news on factual grounds — results, orders, deals and corporate actions. This is an observation of what is happening, not a view on any of them.

A word on “ex-dividend”, since it confuses people every single month. If a stock goes ex-dividend today, you must have owned it before today to receive that dividend. Buying it today will not get you the payout — and the price usually adjusts downward by roughly the dividend amount at the open. It is not a fall; it is arithmetic.

6. Key Events Today: Nifty Weekly Expiry and Q2 Earnings

7. F&O Today: Nifty Expiry, Open Interest and F&O Ban List

Today is an expiry day, so let us unpack the jargon properly.

F&O stands for futures and options — contracts whose value is derived from an underlying stock or index. Every contract has an expiry date, and on that date it settles. Nifty’s weekly options normally expire on Tuesday. But NSE’s rule is simple: if the scheduled expiry day is a trading holiday, contracts expire on the previous trading day instead. Since Tuesday 10 November is a holiday, today is the expiry day.

The Nifty monthly expiry also shifts, from Tuesday 24 November, which is a holiday for Prakash Gurpurb Sri Guru Nanak Dev.

Now the three numbers F&O traders check every morning. These are from the 6 November close, which is the most recent option-chain data available.

Open interest (OI) is the total number of contracts currently open and unsettled. Rising OI at a strike price means traders are building positions there.

PCR, or Put-Call Ratio, divides open put contracts by open call contracts. A PCR above 1 means more puts are open than calls. Traders often read a high PCR as cautious positioning, though it can equally reflect option sellers writing puts for premium. It is a sentiment indicator, not a signal.

Max pain is the strike price at which the largest number of option buyers would lose money if the index settled exactly there. It is an arithmetic observation about where open interest is clustered — not a target and not a forecast.

F&O Ban List Today

MWPL means Market Wide Position Limit — the maximum total F&O positions allowed in a stock across the whole market. When open interest crosses 95% of that limit, NSE puts the stock in the ban period. During a ban, traders can only reduce existing positions; no fresh positions are allowed. The ban lifts once open interest falls back below 80%.

Our source’s ban list was still dated 8 November at the time of writing, and we could not confirm the 9 November list. Please check the official NSE ban list before you trade, as it is updated every day.

Stocks our source listed as possible entrants — not banned, just close to the limit — included Bandhan Bank, Ambuja Cements and Manappuram Finance.
