Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services said, “The stability of the JPY has been instrumental in driving a global market recovery. Besides that, the strong U.S. retail sales and a decline in weekly jobless claims have helped alleviate fears of a U.S. recession. Further, the market sentiment has improved due to a decrease in U.S. CPI inflation.

On the backdrop of these, the Indian IT firms exhibited strong buying interest. Domestically, the Indian CPI inflation rate has fallen below the estimate, signalling optimism. However, challenges such as a drop in WPI inflation, weak IIP, and lukewarm Q1 corporate earnings suggest that market gains may be limited, which is reflected by FIIs maintaining a net seller position.”
