Infosys, Wipro, LTIMindtree Share Price Rally as Nifty IT Jumps 1.7% After Fed Rate Cut

Indian IT stocks gained sharply on Thursday after the US Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points and signalled 2 more cuts this year. The Nifty IT index rose 1.7%, becoming the top sectoral gainer. LTIMindtree climbed 3.6%, Wipro gained 2.2%, and Infosys rose 2.14%.

By 10:35 AM, Nifty was up 1.03%, while the benchmark Nifty50 advanced only 0.33%.

IT Sector Performance So Far

Despite the rebound, IT stocks have struggled in 2025. The Nifty IT index is still down 15% year-to-date, compared to a 7.5% rise in Nifty50. Big names like Infosys, Wipro, and TCS have all dropped nearly 15% each this year.

Infosys was trading at ₹1,547, up 1.62% on Thursday, but remains well below its 52-week high of ₹2,006.80.

What the Fed Said

Fed Chair Jerome Powell said the rate cut was a precautionary move, as the labor market is showing weakness. The Fed’s outlook points to two more cuts in 2025, one in 2026, and one in 2027, with no cuts expected in 2028.
