What market experts say?

Market experts said, “Positive US jobless claims data eased the fears of recession and provided a favourable broader market reaction. The IT index outperformed in expectation of improved spending.”

“Though the sentiment is gaining traction, a lack of fresh triggers and subdued earnings will be a deterrent for higher valuation. To safeguard the sentiment, investors are advised to shift their focus from growth stocks to value stocks. Overall, the day’s trading reflected cautious optimism, with investors closely monitoring upcoming corporate earnings and global economic indicators,” they added.
