Indian IT Stocks Decline Amid US Federal Reserve's Hawkish Outlook on Interest Rates
Indian IT stocks, including Infosys, TCS, Wipro, and HCLTech, declined by up to 3% following a hawkish tone from the US Federal Reserve, which kept interest rates unchanged but signaled potential hikes later this year due to persistent inflation concerns. The Nifty IT index fell nearly 2%, ending a three-session gain streak. As these companies earn significant revenue from North America, investors worry that higher US rates and bond yields may reduce discretionary spending, impacting IT sector growth.
