Most traded stocks today: The Indian stock market witnessed decent buying interest during the morning session on Thursday, May 21, driven by positive global cues amid hopes of a potential US-Iran deal. However, elevated crude oil prices, rising bond yields, and concerns over a possible flare-up in inflation capped gains and kept investor sentiment cautious.

Meanwhile, Vodafone Idea, IRB Infrastructure Developers, Jaiprakash Power Ventures (JP Power), Sammaan Capital, Ola Electric Mobility, Samvardhana Motherson International, Apollo Micro Systems, Tata Silver Exchange Traded Fund, Tata Gold Exchange Traded Fund, YES Bank, and Lenskart Solutions were among the most traded stocks, or most active stocks in terms of volume, on the NSE on Thursday.
Suzlon Energy, HFCL, Adani Power, Reliance Power, Jay Bharat Maruti, GTL Infrastructure, PC Jeweller, Billionbrains Garage Ventures (Groww), and Fineotex Chemical were also among the most traded stocks on the NSE.
