Buy or sell stocks, 14 May 2026: The Indian stock market is likely to witness a positive start today, with Gift Nifty indicating a gap-up opening supported by improving global sentiment and a strong rebound in technology-led US markets. After days of heightened volatility and sustained selling pressure, global equities are showing signs of short-term stabilization, which could support sentiment in domestic markets during the opening session.
Wall Street ended sharply higher overnight, with both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq closing at record highs as technology stocks staged a strong recovery and crude oil prices eased marginally. The rally in US equities helped improve overall risk appetite globally, despite lingering concerns around inflation and expectations that the US Federal Reserve could maintain a tighter interest rate stance for longer.
Asian markets are also trading in the green this morning, with Japan’s Nikkei gaining over 320 points and South Korea’s Kospi rising more than 1.2%, reflecting stronger global risk sentiment and selective buying across Asian equities.

Vaishali Parekh, Vice President — Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher, believes the Gift Nifty live chart is signaling a gap-up opening on Dalal Street, but the Nifty 50 index needs to sustain above 23,000 to strengthen bulls’ sentiment.
