Stocks to Watch Today (May 12, 2026):The Indian stock market witnessed a sharp decline on Monday, May 11, as investor confidence weakened due to rising global crude oil prices. This surge in oil prices came after hopes of an early peace agreement in West Asia faded. In addition, selling pressure increased in sectors like real estate and consumer durables after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a series of policy measures.
Both major indices ended significantly lower. The Nifty dropped 1.51% to close at 23,811, while the Sensex fell 1.73% to settle at 76,072. This marked the steepest single-day fall for both indices since April 24.
Market sentiment remains weak going into Tuesday as well. Early signals from the Gift Nifty suggest a negative start to trading. It was seen near 23,738, down by more than 48.50 points compared to the previous Nifty futures close.
