Nifty clocks fifth session of gains led by IT on Infosys buyback, US rate cut hopes
Infosys led gains in Indias Nifty 50 index, which closed higher for the fifth consecutive session, driven by a 5% surge in Infosys shares following the announcement of a share buyback plan. The IT sector, which accounted for a significant portion of the days gains, benefited from expectations of a U.S. interest rate cut, which could boost technology spending in the U.S., a key market for Indian IT firms. The broader market also saw gains, with the Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex both rising by 0.39%. The anticipation of a Federal Reserve rate cut was fueled by weaker-than-expected U.S. job data.
