Nifty witnessed some profit booking at the start of this week. Yet, in a striking turn, a remarkable rally in the last two days propelled it to record highs. This surge was fueled by a dovish stance from the US Federal Reserve. The Fed Reserve Chair articulated a commitment to vigilantly monitor price and growth trends, assessing the necessity for any further rate hikes. The forward-looking perspective suggests a potential trajectory of declining interest rates in the year 2024.
The Nifty IT index has consistently demonstrated robust performance during the latter half of the year, showcasing superior results in 7 out of the past 10 years. Notably, the Nifty IT Index hit a 52-week high on Friday. This was attributed to strong US economic data, signaling the possibility of rate cuts, thereby opening up additional business opportunities for Indian IT companies. The rally was prominently led by the major players in the IT sector.
Nifty ended the week 2.32% higher at 21,457. Nifty IT and Nifty Metal surged the most during the week with a gain of 8.6% and 5% respectively.
