Despite mixed global cues, Indian indices opened lower on Friday. At the time of opening, the Sensex dropped by 204.20 points, or 0.26 per cent, to settle at 79,013.85, while the Nifty slipped by 0.22 per cent, reaching 23,899.30. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services, said, “Pharmaceuticals have been resilient despite market weakness. This trend can sustain. IT is likely to be strong in the near term, buoyed by the positive Accenture results and guidance. Gen AI is becoming a profit pool for IT companies. The negative response to the Fed’s commentary yesterday will be temporary. Recovery led by large caps is possible in the near-term.”
