Sensex and Nifty flat after rally as IT gains continue
In short
Indian shares were almost flat after a strong rally the day before. IT stocks kept rising, while pharma shares fell. Analysts pointed to higher US bond yields and crude oil prices, but short-covering and hopes of tax relief helped mood.
This matters because traders are watching whether the market can keep its gains. The next move is still uncertain if bond yields and oil stay high.
What the reporting says
Indian equities traded nearly flat after a sharp rally in the previous session, with IT stocks extending gains and pharma shares declining. The publisher summaries say analysts cited elevated US bond yields and crude oil prices as headwinds, while short-covering and hopes of tax relief supported sentiment. What remains uncertain is whether the market can extend the rally if those pressures persist.
