New Delhi, May 19 -- Stocks to buy for the short term: The Indian stock market benchmarks ended with nominal gains on Monday, 18 May, on value buying in select IT, heavyweights, even as crude oil prices remained higher and the rupee fell to fresh lows against the US dollar.

The market is expected to witness positive momentum on Tuesday amid reports of US President Donald Trump pausing the Iran strike plan and signalling talks were on to resolve the Middle East conflict.
