India's IT Service Industry Growth Slows; Analysts Say AI Transformation Projects Offer New Support
智通财经2026/10/09 01:51After Tata Consultancy Services released its earnings, HCL Technologies and Tech Mahindra are set to follow with their own financial reports. Analysts noted that clients remain cautious towards non-essential technology projects, with industry growth expected to stay sluggish. However, recent results from Accenture indicate that spending is not simply shrinking but is shifting towards large-scale transformation projects led by AI. On Thursday, Tata Consultancy Services reported profit growth surpassing market expectations, but its revenue increased by only 0.5% quarter-on-quarter at constant currency. According to Nuvama, “Over the past nine months, the IT sector has significantly underperformed the broader market, mainly due to negative sentiment created by generative AI platform companies, along with uncertainty related to the Gulf War. We continue to believe that the IT services model will persist in the long term, and the disruption brought by generative AI will only create greater opportunities for these companies.”

Spot gold: Range-bound fluctuations, sell on rallies, buy on dips
Reason for analysis: Spot gold rebounded near a two-month low, but the Federal Reserve meeting minutes show that most officials believe it may continue to raise interest rates this year. The strengthening of the US dollar and high US Treasury yields still exert pressure. The easing of tensions between the US and Iran has reduced some safe-haven demand. After technical indicators became oversold in the short term, there was a corrective rebound, but a reversal has not yet occurred, so the range-bound strategy is maintained. Key focus: US Treasury yields, US Dollar Index, geopolitical situation Resistance: 4200, 4230, 4270 Support: 4130, 4100, 4070
