Nifty IT Index Declines Over 3% Amid US Rate Hike and Geopolitical Concerns
The Nifty IT index saw its largest single-day drop in three months, falling over 3%, driven by concerns over a potential US Federal Reserve rate hike, rising US bond yields, and geopolitical tensions. Additional pressures include higher crude oil prices, increased H-1B visa costs, and uncertainties around generative AI's impact on the sector. Analysts note that these factors may reduce US IT spending and delay enterprise decisions, contributing to the sell-off in major Indian IT stocks like Coforge, Infosys, and HCL Tech.
