Vodafone Idea, Fineotex Chemical, Ola Electric, Apollo Micro Systems among most traded stocks on NSE today, 20 May 2026 The Indian stock market experienced volatility during intraday trading on Wednesday, 20 May 2026, as benchmark indices—the Sensex and the Nifty 50—dropped by nearly 1% each. The market's movement was influenced by conflicting geopolitical signals and lingering uncertainties surrounding the resolution of the West Asian conflict. However, hopes for a potential US-Iran peace agreement gained momentum, leading to a decline in crude oil prices after US President Donald Trump indicated that a war with Iran would soon conclude. Despite this, cautious sentiment persisted due to the rupee's weakness and elevated global bond yields. Global equity markets faced headwinds from rising bond yields, with the US 10-year yield at 4.66% and the 30-year yield reaching 5.19%, the highest level in 22 years. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Investments, warned that these trends posed a significant challenge to equity markets. Among the most actively traded stocks on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) were Vodafone Idea, Fineotex Chemical, Ola Electric Mobility, Apollo Micro Systems, Tata Gold Exchange Traded Fund, Tata Silver Exchange Traded Fund, BLS International Services, YES Bank, Tata Steel, Jaiprakash Power Ventures (JP Power), Filatex Fashions, and Zee Entertainment Enterprises. Additional notable stocks included GMR Airports, Suzlon Energy, HFCL, Viyash Scientific, GTL Infrastructure, Bharat Electronics (BEL), Godawari Power and Ispat, and Vedanta. Vodafone Idea saw over 40 crore shares traded by 11 am, with the telecom stock rising 1% during the session.#ola_electric #apollo_micro_systems #vodafone_idea #fineotex_chemical #tata_gold_etf
