Indian IT stocks poised for gains as US tech rallies. Infosys, TCS, and Wipro are tracking strength in global technology shares after the Nasdaq Composite surged 1.29% overnight, driven by chipmakers Nvidia and AMD alongside strong US economic data. US services activity expanded at its fastest pace since mid-2022, with inflation easing to one-year lows despite ongoing Middle East tensions. The Nifty IT index has proven resilient, falling just 1% since conflict began, compared to the broader Nifty's 3% decline. A weakening Indian rupee, now at an all-time low of 92.18 against the dollar, benefits IT companies significantly as most earn revenue in foreign currencies while maintaining costs in rupees. This recovery follows a brutal February selloff where the Nifty IT index plunged 20%, its steepest monthly decline since 2008, triggered by AI automation concerns.
