Can IT power the Nifty higher today?
Good Morning, Everyone, Nifty opened with a gap up yesterday and went on a power buying mode to finally close at 17176 higher by 264 points or 1.56%. But IT has been underperforming for the past 2 days after Nasdaq crashed. But after 2 days of fall, Nasdaq has recovered yesterday, can this power the IT stocks today is to be seen.
FIIs continue their selling spree but DIIs have been strongly buying more than them, each time Nifty closes below 17000. However, it is very important to cross 17500 to get back to the positive momentum. Till then I will consider nifty bearish for the short term.
