SUMMARY
# IT शेयरों में भारी गिरावट, कोफोर्ज 6% तक टूटा
भारतीय शेयर बाजार पर IT सेक्टर की बड़ी गिरावट का भारी दबाव देखा गया। कोफोर्ज का स्टॉक सबसे ज्यादा प्रभावित रहा, जो करीब 6% तक क्रैश हो गया। कमजोर तिमाही नतीजों और वैश्विक मंदी की आशंकाओं के कारण IT कंपनियों पर बिकवाली का दबाव बढ़ा। TCS, इंफोसिस, विप्रो और HCL टेक जैसे प्रमुख IT शेयरों में भी गिरावट दर्ज की गई। अमेरिका में टेक खर्च में कटौती और डॉलर में उतार-चढ़ाव ने IT कंपनियों की आय पर नकारात्मक प्रभाव डाला। निवेशकों को सलाह है कि मौजूदा अस्थिरता में सतर्कता बरतें।
