U.S. Tech Rally Supports Sentiment
The recovery in Indian IT stocks followed gains in U.S. technology shares overnight, Reuters reported. Sentiment improved after Anthropic said it plans to build partnerships around its Claude technology, easing concerns about artificial intelligence-led disruption in the technology sector, according to media reports.
The previous session’s decline in the Nifty IT index came amid global volatility linked to artificial intelligence-related developments. NSE data showed broad-based selling across large-cap and midcap IT counters on February 24.
With the Nifty IT index recovering 2.2% on February 25 after a more than 4% fall a day earlier, sectoral performance will continue to be tracked alongside movements in U.S. technology stocks and global market trends, based on exchange data.
