• Tata Consultancy Services (TCS): Down 0.70%

Analysis: Reasons Behind the Moves

• Banking & Auto Rebound: Axis Bank led the market recovery as investors engaged in value buying across financial services and banking counters following sharp losses in the prior session. The broader banking gauge rebounded as domestic institutional support helped stabilize market sentiment.
• Cooling Crude & Truce Hopes Aid Paints: Asian Paints saw strong buying interest, advancing 1.40%, after a marginal easing in crude oil benchmarks and reports of diplomatic discussions between the US and Iran aimed at easing Middle East tensions. Lower crude prices alleviate input cost pressures for paint and consumer goods manufacturers.
• IT Dragged by Surging Global Yields: The Nifty IT index was the session's biggest laggard, weighing heavily on frontline tech firms like Infosys and TCS. Global tech sentiment was dampened by overnight losses on Wall Street and a relentless selloff in US debt markets, which pushed Treasury yields higher and pressured high-valuation growth sectors.
• Selling in Upstream Energy: ONGC slipped 1.39% as softening crude oil benchmarks trimmed expectations of elevated upstream exploration margins. Max Healthcare Institute also experienced sustained selling pressure, declining 2.30% to become the session's sharpest decliner amid broader profit booking in healthcare names.
