Overnight & Global Cues
Overnight, global markets displayed a mixed to negative sentiment. Major US indices concluded Wednesday's trading session in the red, with the Dow Jones falling 0.66%, the NASDAQ declining 0.92%, and the S&P 500 shedding 0.77%. However, after-market activity showed slight positive movements for major US index-tracking ETFs. Domestically, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) remained net sellers in the cash segment on September 30, 2026, offloading ₹10,148.41 crore, while Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) provided counter-support with net purchases of ₹11,271.73 crore. FIIs reportedly showed a bearish stance in index derivatives, contrasting with DIIs who were bullish on indexes in the F&O segment. The Indian IT sector continues to grapple with global macroeconomic uncertainties and a slowdown in discretionary client spending. Macroeconomic data from India showed the fiscal deficit widening to ₹7.10 trillion for April-August, reaching 41.9% of the FY27 target, and the rupee depreciated past 96 per dollar due to higher crude oil prices.
Recent Developments
In a significant development, Infosys announced on September 30, 2026, an extension of its strategic collaboration with ABN Amro Bank to streamline the IT landscape and accelerate AI-driven transformation. This underscores the company's focus on leveraging AI capabilities amidst evolving industry dynamics. Looking ahead, Infosys is scheduled to announce its Q2 FY27 earnings on October 23, 2026. This upcoming announcement is a key event, particularly as analysts anticipate a potential lowering of FY27 revenue growth guidance. Some brokerages, including Citi, have adjusted their target prices lower and anticipate a conservative growth forecast, with Citi retaining a Neutral rating and setting a target price of ₹1,030 as of September 30, 2026. Infosys is also reportedly re-skilling a significant portion of its workforce for specialist AI roles to address the disruptive influence of generative AI.
Key Levels to Watch
As the session progresses, traders will be eyeing the immediate support around yesterday's close of ₹994.10 and the day's low of ₹1,001.30. On the upside, the day's high of ₹1,019.50 presents an immediate resistance level. The 52-week high and low are not available from the provided live market data. The stock's current performance at ₹1,008.85 against its open of ₹1,010.00 suggests minor pullback after the open but holding above previous close.
Opening Outlook
The focus for today's session will likely be on how Infosys sustains its positive opening amidst the broader market sentiment and the ongoing FII selling pressure. The recent collaboration with ABN Amro provides a positive corporate announcement, but market participants will remain sensitive to any pre-market commentary or reports influencing expectations for the upcoming Q2 earnings and future guidance. The IT sector's cautious outlook, particularly regarding discretionary spending and AI-led transformations, will continue to shape investor behavior. Traders should monitor the stock's ability to hold above key intraday support levels and watch for sustained buying interest, particularly from domestic institutions.
