Share Market HIGHLIGHTS: Indian equity benchmarks made a dramatic fag-end recovery in a volatile session, as gains in financial shares were offset by losses in IT heavyweights such as TCS, a day after the Tata group blue-chip software exporter announced a muted set of Q4 results. Infosys shares fell three per cent for the day, as investors awaited the Bengaluru-based IT major's Q4 results due later in the day. Globally, equity markets saw mixed moves as though better-than-expected US inflation data allayed concerns about more of aggressive hikes in benchmark interest rates, minutes of the last FOMC review fuelled worries about a bank liquidity crisis in the world's largest economy.
EDITOR'S TAKE: Zee Business Managing Editor Anil Singhvi highlighted that TCS slightly fell short of analysts' estimates on the profit, revenue and margin front and its new orders came in slightly above expectations though "there was no silver lining in terms of new orders". He said those looking for guidance on the Indian IT sector will have to wait for the Infosys Q4 results. Read more on how Anil Singhvi views the Indian share market and what he recommends on TCS
