Stock market prediction for Thursday, 12 November, 2026: The Indian stock market is likely to open on a negative note as the GIFT Nifty signalled a muted start for both Sensex, Nifty 50 on Thursday, 12 November.
Meanwhile, Asian markets mostly opened mixed in early trading session on Thursday; however, US stock continued rebound on Wednesday.
“Indian equity markets are likely to open on a steady note, with investors keeping a close watch on the October CPI inflation data scheduled for release later today. This remains the key domestic catalyst, particularly after the recent acceleration in inflation and the RBI’s shift towards a calibrated tightening stance following its October rate hike. A higher-than-expected October print could reinforce concerns over further monetary tightening, while a softer reading may offer some relief to market sentiment,” said Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money.
Indian equity benchmarks extended their gains for a second consecutive session on Wednesday, with the Sensex surging 773 points to a nearly nine-month high and the Nifty settling above the 25,250 mark. The rally was supported by foreign investor inflows, stronger-than-expected September-quarter earnings and a continued decline in crude oil prices.
The 30-share BSE Sensex advanced 772.75 points, or 0.95%, to close at 81,879.40, its highest level since February 26. During the session, the index surged as much as 1,413.75 points, or 1.74%, to touch an intraday high of 82,520.40. Similarly, the NSE Nifty 50 gained 210.40 points, or 0.84%, to settle at 25,255.05, marking its highest closing level in nearly nine months.
