Indian markets hit an all-time high and settled on a positive note on Thursday driven by IT and realty stocks. Large-cap stocks like TCS, Infosys, and Tech Mahindra were among the top gainers. This offset sharp selling in media, PSU banks, and oil & gas stocks. However, the upside was limited as well due to a higher-than-expected rise in CPI inflation print. Q1 earnings season continues to dictate market’s tone largely. India’s volatility index ended on a flat note.

Talking about the current market performance, Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services said, “Today’s domestic rally was supported by the contra bet buying of the IT stocks which was supported by stable margins, new generation business opportunities and increase in pricing power due to moderation in USD, as latest US inflation is fast approaching the Fed’s target levels.”

He added, “The broad market was trading positively at the all-time high level in anticipation of buoyant Q1 results and low volatility (VIX). However, a mixed start to bank earnings, coupled with ongoing concerns about domestic inflation, attracted bearish sentiment towards the latter half.”
