On May 13, 2026, the Indian benchmark indices, the Sensex and Nifty 50, closed slightly higher, with the Sensex gaining 50 points (0.07%) to reach 74,608.98 and the Nifty 50 advancing 33 points (0.14%) to settle at 23,412.60. This marks the end of a four-session losing streak, although market sentiment remains cautious due to ongoing geopolitical tensions, particularly related to the US-Iran conflict. Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking, highlighted the formation of Doji candlestick patterns, indicating indecision among market participants. He identified immediate support levels for the Nifty 50 between 23,200–23,250 and resistance levels around 23,550–23,600. The Bank Nifty index also showed similar trends, closing at 53,456.15, down 99.05 points (0.18%). Bagadia recommends five stocks for buying: MedPlus Health Services, Tata Steel, Nippon Life India Asset Management, Carborundum Universal, and Divi's Laboratories, each with specified buying prices, target prices, and stop-loss levels to manage risk effectively.
