The Indian markets are mirroring the trend seen across rest of Asia. The US dollar index strengthened, hovering near two-week highs..

This is more than 600 points lower from intra-day highs. The Index opened trading up 400 points. The US Futures point to further downside, and globally, investor focus continues to be on the high US yield.
The Nifty IT Index too has come off early highs but is still up 3% in a falling market. Arun Kailasan, Research Analyst, Geojit Investments, explained that “Indian IT stocks advanced sharply as investors reassessed the pace of AI-led disruption following comments from executives at leading AI companies advocating slower, more regulated development of frontier models.”
According to him, “the remarks eased fears of an abrupt displacement of traditional IT services models and implied a longer runway for domestic firms to reskill, reposition business models and monetise AI-linked opportunities. Improving sentiment, undemanding valuations combined with rupee depreciation which lifts realisations and margins on dollar-denominated earnings drove fresh buying across frontline names.”

BEL, Shriram Finance, Grasim and L&T are among the most prominent losers this morning. The tech stocks have, however, held on to their gains, with the Nifty IT Index up nearly 4%.

They shrigged of the US Yield hardening and hitting 5% and respond to the changing narrative on AI. The Nifty is up over 100 points, holding above 23,500 and the Sensex climbed 400 points in early trade. The big winner today is undeniably tech. The Nifty IT Index is up over 4%. HDFC Bank is the other big winner this morning.
GIFT Nifty was trading 80 points higher, or 0.34%, above 23,500 in early trade, signalling a positive start for Indian equities after 1-day holiday due to Ganesh Chaturthi. However, weak Asian markets, rising Brent crude prices and higher US Treasury yields will remain in focus.
