IT Sector Rally Driven by Strong Earnings; Rupee Appreciates Against Dollar
What happened
The Indian IT services sector is stabilizing after nearly two years of cost-cutting, driven by better-than-expected quarterly earnings and robust future guidance from companies like Accenture and HCLTech. Concurrently, the Indian rupee appreciated, closing at 94.96 per dollar, following aggressive measures taken by the Reserve Bank of India to defend the local currency.
