Stock Market Today, 13 November 2026: GIFT Nifty Cues, Sensex and Nifty Pre-Market Setup, FII DII Data and Stocks to Watch

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

Good morning, and welcome to your daily chai-time look at the share market today. Let us keep it simple. Our market has gone up for three days in a row, and the banking pack did the heavy lifting yesterday. But overnight, Wall Street slipped after a very big surprise from Nvidia, and GIFT Nifty today is sitting a little below where our Nifty closed. So the mood is flat to slightly soft at the start.

At the same time, foreign money is still coming in strongly, and FII DII data shows a clear tug-of-war between overseas buyers and domestic sellers. Today is also a busy earnings day, so Nifty 50 and Sensex may move on company news as much as on global cues. One more thing to note on the calendar: this week’s F&O expiry for Nifty is not today, it comes on Tuesday.

Let us go through the numbers one by one.

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

Wall Street ended lower on Thursday. The big story was Nvidia: its chief Jensen Huang resigned as President, CEO and Director, and Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress has taken over as interim CEO. The stock fell as much as 14% during the day before closing down 4.34% at $166.19, and that dragged technology shares along with it.

The other pressure point was bond yields. The US 10-year government bond yield is around 5.13%, and traders are now expecting the US Federal Reserve to raise interest rates at its December meeting. Higher yields abroad usually mean global money becomes a little more choosy about emerging markets like India.

Asian markets, however, have bounced back this morning. Chip-making shares in Asia recovered after the first shock of the Nvidia news, and that has put some green on the board.

And here are the other things that matter for our market — oil and the rupee. India buys most of its crude oil from outside, so a softer oil price is generally good news for us.

The rupee weakened by 34 paise on Thursday, from ₹93.69 to ₹94.03 against the dollar. A weaker rupee helps exporters like IT and pharma companies, but it makes our imports costlier.

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

GIFT Nifty is the old SGX Nifty, now shifted to GIFT City in Gujarat. Think of it as a trial match played before the real one. Because it trades for longer hours, it gives us the first hint of where Nifty may open at 9:15 AM. It is only a hint, not a promise.

GIFT Nifty is trading roughly 50 points below Nifty’s closing level. In plain words: a flat to mildly weak opening is on the cards. We do not predict where the index will go after that — we only read what the data is showing right now.

Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex Today: Previous Close

Thursday was a volatile, range-bound session that still ended green. Nifty 50 closed at 25,299.35 after moving between 25,142.95 and 25,384.80. The headline indices barely moved, but the banking and realty pockets were strong, and the broader market did better than the big names.

Notice the gap: Nifty Bank jumped 726 points while Nifty 50 added only 44. Within the Nifty 50 itself, 20 shares went up and 30 went down — so the gains were narrow and selective, carried mostly by financial names.

Nifty Support and Resistance Levels for Today

A quick word on what these terms mean. Support is a level where buyers have stepped in before, so the fall tends to slow down there. Resistance is the opposite — a level where selling has appeared earlier, so the rise tends to pause. These are simply levels that market analysts are tracking. They are for reference, not forecasts, and the market is free to ignore them completely.

India VIX is the market’s nervousness meter. It fell over 5% to 16.61, which tells us traders are expecting calmer days rather than wild swings. One caution flag from analysts: Nifty’s daily RSI, a momentum gauge, is around 79.8. A reading above 70 is called “overbought”, which simply means the index has run up fast in a short time and a pause or sideways patch would not be unusual.

FII DII Data Today: Thursday, 12 November 2026 (₹ Crore)

Two big groups move our market. FII means Foreign Institutional Investors — overseas funds putting money into Indian shares. DII means Domestic Institutional Investors — our own mutual funds, insurance companies like LIC, and pension funds. When you put money in a SIP, you are indirectly part of the DII side.

This is the clearest pattern in the market right now. Foreign funds have put in over ₹73,500 crore in November so far, while domestic institutions have taken out nearly ₹46,800 crore. One side is buying with both hands, the other is booking profits. As long as FII buying stays this strong, it is giving the market a solid floor.

Stocks in News Today: Stocks to Watch on 13 November 2026

These are shares that are in focus today because of company news — results, dividends or F&O restrictions. This is a factual list of what happened, not a list of suggestions.

Key Events Today: Q2 Earnings Rush and Global Yield Watch

Company results. Eicher Motors, Grasim Industries, ABB India and Vodafone Idea all report Q2 FY27 numbers today. Four heavyweight results in one session means stock-specific moves are likely.

Global watch. The market will keep an eye on how global technology shares digest the Nvidia leadership change, and on the US 10-year bond yield at 5.13%. Expectations of a US rate hike in December are the main overhang for global markets right now.

Primary market. Haldiram Snacks Foods has started its IPO process. The issue size and timing are still being finalised, so there is nothing firm on dates yet.

Currency and oil. After the rupee’s 34-paise fall and with Brent near $92, both will stay on the watchlist.

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

F&O stands for Futures and Options — contracts whose value depends on a share or an index. Here is the expiry calendar in simple terms:

So today, Friday, is a normal non-expiry session. Now let us decode the F&O jargon.

Open Interest (OI) is the number of contracts still open and not yet settled. Think of it as how many people are still sitting at the table with a bet running. Rising OI means fresh money is entering a level.

PCR, or Put-Call Ratio, compares put option activity against call option activity. Puts are usually bought by those protecting against a fall; calls by those positioned for a rise. A PCR below 1 means call activity is heavier.

Max pain is the strike price at which the largest number of option buyers would lose money if the market settled exactly there. Option sellers often have an interest in the index drifting towards this level.

In simple words: the heaviest call writing sits at 26,000 and the heaviest put writing at 24,000, so the options market has priced a fairly wide room for Nifty. Max pain at 25,200 is just below where Nifty closed.

The F&O ban list. Every stock has an MWPL — Market Wide Position Limit. It is a cap set by the exchange on how many F&O contracts can be open in that stock. When open positions cross 95% of that cap, the stock goes into a ban. During a ban you cannot open fresh F&O positions in it; you can only close existing ones. Cash market or delivery trading in the share continues as normal.

Only one stock, Kaynes Technology, is under F&O ban today. No stock exited the ban.

Kaynes Technology India is the only stock under F&O ban on 13 November 2026, with MWPL utilisation at 116.44%. No stock came out of the ban.

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

Wall Street slipped after Nvidia announced that Jensen Huang had resigned as CEO, with CFO Colette Kress stepping in as interim CEO. The stock fell 4.34% and pulled technology shares down. Rising US bond yields, with the 10-year at 5.13%, and expectations of a December rate hike added to the pressure. For India it matters mainly through two channels: our IT sector takes cues from US technology sentiment, and higher US yields can make foreign investors more selective. That said, Asian markets have already recovered this morning and FII buying into India has stayed strong.
