It has been a while since the Nifty bulls had two consecutive weeks of gains. Three months to be more specific. But the last six sessions have already seen the Nifty recover 900 points from 2026 lows, to levels above the mark of 23,000. A confluence of both global and local factors have been responsible for this and they continue to remain in place as well.
First, the AI meltdown continued on Wall Street on Friday night. It will be interesting to see whether that continues on to Asia on Monday and then turns out to be a blessing in disguise yet again for India's IT companies, who had their best week since 2008 during the week gone by.
The most important trigger for IT stocks this week will be results from Infosys, which only get reported on Friday, but otherwise, it has been a fairly decent quarter for the IT companies that have reported numbers so far, barring Persistent Systems, and the street has duly penalized it for that too.
