Indian IT stocks surged today as fresh optimism around US-China trade talks lifted investor mood. The Nifty IT index rose over 1.5%, outperforming all other sectors and extending its winning streak to five sessions.
Coforge led the charge, climbing nearly 4% after JP Morgan gave it an ‘overweight’ rating with a bullish target of ₹2,080. Mphasis, Persistent Systems, and Tech Mahindra also saw strong gains, pushing the tech sector into the spotlight amid a cautious broader market.
A large chunk of India’s IT revenue comes from American clients. When tensions between the world’s two biggest economies ease—even slightly—it gives Indian tech firms room to breathe and grow.
Translation? Your tech mutual funds and stock picks just got a confidence boost.

Trade war thaw = Tech stock party
US President Donald Trump said things are going “well” with China—though he did throw in the usual Trump-ism: “China’s not easy.”
Still, that’s enough to move markets. Both countries are in London for a second round of face-to-face talks, hoping to break out of the tariff gridlock that’s haunted global trade since April. And when global giants smile, Dalal Street grins.
Coforge saw the biggest pop, up 4% at ₹1,860—fueled by JP Morgan’s call. That price target of ₹2,080 implies a 16% upside. Not bad for a sector that’s often called “defensive.” Persistent Systems followed with a 3% jump. Mphasis and Tech Mahindra rose over 2%, while the big names—TCS, Infosys, and HCL Tech—gained modestly.
Even Wipro, usually the quiet cousin at the IT family reunion, moved up by nearly 1%.
Reality check, though…
This isn’t an all-clear signal. The US-China trade spat is far from over. Export controls, tariffs, and diplomatic tensions still lurk. But for now, the market’s betting on diplomacy.
And honestly, after months of doomscrolling economic news, even a cautious handshake between Washington and Beijing feels like a win.
Final byte: It’s not just about China
These moves show how globally wired Indian tech is. Trade wars abroad? IT stocks here feel it. So, if you’re tracking markets, don’t just look at Sensex or Nifty—keep one eye on the global chessboard too.
