The Nifty IT index gained today due to rising optimism that the U.S. Federal Reserve will soon cut its interest rates. Since Indian IT firms derive a large portion of their revenue from US clients, cheaper borrowing in the US is expected to encourage American companies to spend more on technology projects. This anticipated rise in client spending boosted sentiment in the entire IT sector.

What is a Markup Phase?
The markup phase is when a stock or the overall market begins to move sharply upwards after a quiet or sideways period. It starts once big investors have finished buying quietly and prices start heading north. More traders and retail investors notice the rally and join in, so demand rises. As a result, prices climb steadily, volume picks up, and positive news can fuel the enthusiasm further.
For you, this is often the time when it feels like “everyone is talking about stocks going up.” Uptrends like these can look exciting, but remember they usually follow an earlier phase where accumulation happened quietly and those early investors now see their patience pay off. In short, the markup phase is when the market’s optimism really shows its strength.
