From YES Bank, IDFC First Bank to Eternal— These are the top most traded stocks on the NSE today

Most traded stocks today: The Indian stock market witnessed bouts of volatility in intraday trade on Thursday, February 26, amid mixed global cues. The Sensex rose by over 300 points during the morning session but failed to hold on to those gains, dropping nearly 150 points in intraday trade. The Nifty 50 touched an intraday high and low of 25,573 and 25,447, respectively.

The domestic market is not able to sustain gains and has been witnessing "sell-on-rise" and "buy-on-dips" trends lately. The positive factor for the market is the return of foreign institutional investors (FIIs) after seven months. FIIs have bought Indian stocks worth ₹4,361 crore in the cash segment in February so far.

Meanwhile, Vodafone Idea, IDFC First Bank, Tata Silver Exchange Traded Fund, YES Bank, Eternal, Filatex Fashions, Easy Trip Planners, Ola Electric Mobility, Tata Gold Exchange Traded Fund, Nippon India Silver ETF, and Tejas Networks were the most traded stocks, or most active stocks in terms of volume, on the NSE around 12:30 pm.

Vishal Mega Mart, Suzlon Energy, Bank of Maharashtra, Jai Balaji Industries, GTL Infrastructure, Renaissance Global, Jyoti Structures, DEE Development Engineers, and Canara Bank were also among the most traded stocks on the NSE.
