The Nifty50 and the Sensex rose and metal and realty stocks supported while traders navigated the tricky geopolitical situation amid uncertainty over the US-Iran deal.

As of 11:00 AM, the Nifty was up 54.75 points or 0.23 per cent at 23,968.45, and the Sensex rose 129.28 points or 0.17 per cent to 76,138.98.

Hindalco Industries, NTPC, Eternal, and Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone were the top gainers in the Nifty50 index.

In the broader markets, the Nifty MidCap and the Nifty SmallCap indices were trading 0.49 per cent and 0.22 per cent higher, respectively.

Sector-wise, the Nifty Metal and the Nifty Realty outperformed. The Nifty Oil and Gas and the Nifty Private Bank were the underperformers in the early trade.

The US carried out strikes in southern Iran on Tuesday, despite Washington constantly claiming that the negotiations are on and a deal is likely to be reached soon. This underscored the fragile state of the ceasefire between the two countries, weighing on investors’ minds.
