Market Analysis

The sharp rebound comes a day after sharp selling had dragged IT stocks lower, with the rebound now gaining momentum as investors step in at lower levels. The recovery appears to be largely driven by short covering and bargain buying after the recent correction. Analysts continue to flag that global demand uncertainty and persistent FII selling could keep IT stocks volatile, despite the sector's improving performance.
