The Indian equity market witnessed a strong rebound in technology stocks on Tuesday, with Nifty IT gains of nearly 2% after suffering a sharp decline in the previous session. The recovery was driven by an overnight rally in US technology stocks and encouraging comments from AI startup Anthropic, which helped improve global sentiment toward the tech sector.
Heavyweight IT stocks led the comeback, offering relief to investors who had seen sharp losses during the recent global tech selloff.
US Tech Rally Sparks Buying Interest in Indian IT Stocks
The trend reversal in Indian IT stocks was closely aligned with the rise in US technology stocks, where enthusiasm about the adoption of artificial intelligence and strong earnings forecasts led to widespread buying. Encouraging comments from Anthropic about the continued demand from enterprises for AI-driven solutions further fueled optimism about the long-term growth story of the global technology services sector.
With Indian IT companies having such high revenue exposure to the North American market, the positive sentiment quickly spilled over into the domestic market. The stocks of Tata Consultancy Services and Infosys surged, making them some of the biggest gainers on the Nifty 50 index.
Nifty IT Recovers After Recent Rout
The Nifty IT index had been under pressure in the recent trading sessions because of valuation concerns, uncertainty over US interest rates, and profit-booking after a sustained rally. However, Tuesday’s recovery indicates that investors are choosing to accumulate quality IT stocks at lower levels.
Investors believe that fundamentals are in place in the sector due to a steady deal pipeline, increased spending in AI-led digital transformation, and cost optimization by global clients.
Analysts further added that despite near-term volatility, the large-cap IT sector continues to provide relative earnings visibility compared to other cyclical sectors.
