Overnight & Global Cues

Overnight, US markets demonstrated resilience, with the S&P 500 gaining 0.8%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average adding 0.3% to hit another record, and the Nasdaq composite climbing 1.5% on Tuesday, June 30, 2026. Technology stocks, particularly those in the artificial intelligence (AI) industry, showed renewed strength, helping major US indices wrap up their best quarter since the pandemic in 2020. However, this positive sentiment was tempered by rising Treasury yields amidst inflation concerns and a weakening Japanese Yen. Domestically, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) remained net sellers on June 30, offloading ₹2,556.75 crore, while Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) provided crucial support, emerging as net buyers with ₹6,842.34 crore in the cash segment. The Indian IT sector continues to face significant challenges, with a recent JPMorgan report suggesting an uncertain demand environment due to generative AI-led productivity gains, geopolitical instability, and evolving enterprise spending priorities, pushing meaningful recovery beyond FY29 to FY30. The Nifty IT index plunged over 2% to a fresh 52-week low on Tuesday, reflecting persistent inflation concerns and uncertainty surrounding the US Federal Reserve's interest rate trajectory.

Recent Developments

In the past 48 hours, Infosys has made corporate announcements regarding the Transcript of its 45th Annual General Meeting and a Newspaper Publication under Regulation 30 (LODR), both dated June 30, 2026. More broadly, the IT giant has been in focus due to analyst downgrades and price target cuts. Following weaker-than-expected Q4 FY26 revenue and a cautious FY27 outlook, BMO Capital reportedly lowered its price target for Infosys from $20.00 to $15.00, maintaining a 'Market Perform' rating, while TD Cowen adjusted its target from $15.00 to $13.00, holding a 'Hold' rating. Guggenheim also reiterated a 'Neutral' rating, highlighting concerns related to AI impacts and competitive intensity. This comes as Infosys shares have reportedly plummeted nearly 50% from their peak in December 2024, currently hovering around ₹1,006.

Key Levels to Watch

Infosys closed yesterday at ₹1,000.40. Today's opening price of ₹1,006.00 marks a new 52-week low for the stock on the NSE, dipping below the previous 52-week low of ₹996. The 52-week high stands at ₹1,728. For the trading session, the ₹1,000 psychological mark, which was the previous close, will be a critical support level. Immediate resistance can be seen towards the intraday high of ₹1,014.00. Sustained trading above these levels could indicate some buying interest, while a slip below the new 52-week low could accelerate further declines.

Opening Outlook

As the market opens, traders will closely monitor how Infosys reacts to the mixed global cues and the prevailing cautious sentiment surrounding the Indian IT sector. While DII flows offer some domestic cushioning, persistent FII selling and concerns over the impact of AI on traditional IT services present structural headwinds. The stock's ability to hold above its fresh 52-week low will be a key determinant of intraday movement. Any fresh corporate commentary or further analyst revisions on the IT sector's growth trajectory will also be crucial for setting the tone for the session.
