It has been reported that after the news of the US government to soon release a stimulus package of $2.4 trillion, shares of IT companies spur up to 3% at the bourses (stock market in Europe) on Tuesday.

This led to Indian IT companies in the stock market to rise at a positive rate.

US Stimulus to Drive Positive Sentiments  

According to the analysts at ICICI Securities, if the alleged US stimulus package is successfully passed, it will improve the US economy.

This will have a direct impact on the Indian IT industry as well, due to clear dependence and revenue generation of the latter on the US economy.

These analysts have also filled us in with the IT industry health and profits generated in the 1st quarter of 2021, from April-June.

This clearly creates a smooth pavement of acceleration for Indian IT industry in the following quarters too, which can again be backed up by the IT index in the stock market.
