Stock Market Today, 11 November 2026: GIFT Nifty, Sensex and Nifty Pre-Market Cues, FII DII Data and Stocks to Watch

NSE pre-market report · Data as of 8:20 AM IST · NSE and BSE open at 9:15 AM IST

Good morning and welcome back after the Diwali-Balipratipada break. Dalal Street was shut on Tuesday, so share market today is really a two-day catch-up session. Here is the simple picture before the bell. GIFT Nifty today is trading well above Monday’s close and points to a firm start. But Wall Street slipped overnight after a hotter-than-expected US inflation reading, so the mood outside India has turned a shade cautious. Nifty 50 and Sensex come into today after a remarkable week — Nifty added about 8.6% in the week to 6 November, its strongest run in months. FII DII data shows foreign investors buying heavily and domestic institutions selling into that strength. And on F&O expiry, note that this week’s Nifty weekly expiry already happened on Monday, because Tuesday was a holiday.

Let’s go through it, number by number. No predictions here — just what happened and what the data says.

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

The big overnight story was American inflation. October US CPI rose 0.4% month-on-month against the 0.3% economists expected, and core CPI (which strips out food and fuel) rose 0.3% against 0.2% expected. Hot inflation means the US Federal Reserve has less room to cut interest rates — and some Fed officials are now openly talking about a hike. Wall Street closed lower on it.

The US 10-year Treasury yield pushed up to around 4.99%, roughly 9-10 basis points higher, and the 2-year rose about 17 basis points to 4.73%. Rising yields abroad usually matter for Indian equities because they make US bonds more attractive versus emerging-market stocks.

Asia, though, is holding up better this morning.

Nikkei level not confirmed — two sources quoted different figures, so only the percentage move is shown.

Two things worth understanding here. First, crude oil has fallen hard — Brent settled at its lowest level since 31 August. India imports most of its oil, so cheaper crude is generally helpful for our inflation and our current account. Second, the rupee has strengthened sharply: it was around ₹95.26 to the dollar on 29 October and was quoted near ₹93.85 on Monday, 9 November. A stronger rupee and softer crude together are what have been driving the recent foreign-investor flows into Indian stocks.

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

GIFT Nifty is the Nifty futures contract that trades at the GIFT City International Financial Services Centre in Gujarat. It used to be called SGX Nifty when it traded in Singapore. Because it runs for nearly 21 hours a day, it is the first thing Indian traders check in the morning — it gives a rough sense of where sentiment sits before NSE opens at 9:15 AM.

A useful caution for newer investors: GIFT Nifty almost always trades at a small premium to the Nifty spot index, because a futures price includes the cost of carrying a position to expiry. So the full gap you see on screen does not automatically become the opening gap on the Nifty 50. It tells you direction more reliably than it tells you distance. Also remember today absorbs two days of global news, since we were closed on Tuesday.

Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex Today: Previous Close

Monday, 9 November was a quiet, positive session — Nifty reclaimed 25,000 and touched a nine-month high, led by PSU banks, financials and power stocks, while IT dragged.

Nifty’s intraday range on Monday was 24,838.75 to 25,084.05. Sensex moved between 80,519.31 and 81,339.41.

Zoom out to the week and the move looks much bigger:

One source quoted Nifty Bank’s one-week return as 8.62% instead of 8.04%; both figures are shown as published.

Top movers on the Nifty 50 on Monday (percentage moves were not published):

Nifty Support and Resistance Levels for Today

These are levels analysts and option traders say they are watching. They are reference points for understanding where buying or selling has clustered — not forecasts, and not a suggestion to trade at any of them.

India VIX is the “fear gauge” — it measures how much movement option traders are pricing in over the next 30 days. It fell about 5.5% on Monday, which means option sellers were expecting calmer conditions. The publisher of the weekly levels above itself describes them as “indicative technical monitoring zones rather than confirmed turning points.” That is the right way to read any such number.

FII DII Data Today: Monday, 9 November 2026 (₹ Crore)

FII means Foreign Institutional Investor — overseas funds investing in Indian stocks. DII means Domestic Institutional Investor — our own mutual funds, insurance companies and pension funds. Watching both together tells you who is buying and who is selling.

Almost a perfect offset: foreigners bought roughly ₹7,212 crore and domestic institutions sold roughly ₹7,173 crore, leaving the market with a net institutional inflow of about ₹40 crore.

Now the week before, which is where the real story is:

So foreign investors put in nearly ₹46,000 crore in a single week — an unusually large figure — while domestic institutions took about ₹24,200 crore off the table. That pattern of DIIs booking profits into FII buying is typical when an index runs up quickly, as Nifty did with its 8.6% weekly gain.

Stocks in News Today: Stocks to Watch on 11 November 2026

These companies are in the news for factual reasons — results, orders, fund-raises and corporate actions. This is a list of what happened, nothing more. It is not a recommendation to buy or sell any of them.

Key Events Today: Q2 Earnings Rush and a Long Ex-Dividend List

Today is a heavy results day — around 113 companies are scheduled to report September-quarter numbers.

Q2 FY27 results expected today: Tata Power, Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers, Hindustan Copper, Mishra Dhatu Nigam, Power Mech Projects, Triveni Turbine, Talbros Automotive Components, Bajaj Hindusthan Sugar, EAAA India Alternatives, Lalithaa Jewellery Mart and Lotus Eye Hospital, among others.

Trading ex-dividend today: Aurobindo Pharma, Balkrishna Industries, Balrampur Chini Mills, Chambal Fertilisers, Container Corporation of India, ADF Foods, Galaxy Surfactants, GPT Infraprojects, HUDCO, JM Financial, Dr Lal PathLabs, Navneet Education, NBCC (India), NRB Bearings, PDS, Premier Energies, RITES, SNL Bearings and Sonata Software, among others. When a stock goes ex-dividend, its price typically adjusts downward by roughly the dividend amount — that drop is mechanical, not a sign of weakness.

Other corporate actions: Jyothy Labs ex-date for its buyback; Evonile Pharma and Zodiac-JRD-MKJ ex-date for rights issues.

Policy: The Department of Pharmaceuticals has invited fresh applications under a revamped PLI scheme for medical devices, with an outlay of about ₹2,700 crore running through FY2035-36.

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

First, the expiry calendar, because the holiday has shifted things:

Now the open-interest picture, from Monday’s close:

Quick explainer for anyone newer to F&O: open interest (OI) is the number of contracts currently open and unsettled. It is not volume — volume counts trades, OI counts positions still live. “Max pain” is simply the strike price at which the greatest value of options would expire worthless. These are descriptive measures of where money is positioned, not signals about where the index is headed.

F&O ban list today: here we have to be honest about a gap. Because Tuesday was a holiday, the ban-list pages we checked were still carrying the 10 November label this morning, and the two sources disagreed — one showed no securities in ban, the other showed Kaynes Technology in ban. Please check the NSE securities-in-ban-period circular directly after 9:00 AM for today’s confirmed list.

Names sitting high on MWPL (Market Wide Position Limit) and therefore close to the ban threshold, per Monday’s data, included Bandhan Bank, PI Industries, LIC, Inox Wind, Manappuram Finance, LIC Housing Finance, NBCC, Vodafone Idea, Ambuja Cements, Canara Bank, SAIL, NMDC and Kalyan Jewellers. MWPL caps how much of a stock’s total F&O open interest the whole market may hold. Cross 95% and the stock goes into a ban period, during which you can only reduce existing positions, not create new ones. Reported MWPL percentages differed sharply between the two sources we checked, so treat the above as a watchlist of names, not as confirmed figures.

When is Nifty expiry this week?

Which stocks are in the F&O ban list today?

We could not confirm today’s list. The ban-list pages we checked were still showing the 10 November label (a holiday) and disagreed with each other — one listed no securities, the other listed Kaynes Technology. Please check NSE’s own securities-in-ban-period circular after 9:00 AM IST for the confirmed list for 11 November.

Why did US markets fall and does it matter for India today?

US October CPI came in at 0.4% month-on-month against 0.3% expected, with core CPI at 0.3% against 0.2% expected. Hotter inflation reduces the scope for Fed rate cuts — one Fed official has said he would back a 25 basis point hike in December — so the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq all closed lower and the 10-year Treasury yield rose to around 4.99%. For India, higher US yields are a headwind for foreign flows, but softer crude at about $91.85 a barrel and a rupee that has firmed from ₹95.26 to around ₹93.85 since late October work in the other direction. We don’t make predictions on which force wins — the data above is what we have.
