The Indian IT sector continued its strong upward momentum on Monday, extending gains for a third consecutive session as investors turned increasingly bullish on the sector amid improving global technology spending trends and easing concerns over the economic outlook. The Nifty IT index surged 3.95%, taking its cumulative gain over the past three trading sessions to more than 6%.

Key Catalyst for Rally

A key catalyst for the rally emerged from the US market, where cloud software company Snowflake reported better-than-expected financial results and offered a positive outlook on demand conditions. The rally has been supported by improving global sentiment, optimism around artificial intelligence spending, expectations of lower US interest rates, and the benefit of a weaker rupee, which typically boosts the earnings of export-oriented IT companies.
