IT Stocks Under Pressure; Mixed Global Cues

Indian IT stocks came under renewed pressure after the US imposed a sharp $100,000 one-time fee for new H-1B visas, triggering selling across the sector. Asian markets remained mixed, while US indices closed higher last session. As Indian equities prepare for a cautious opening, focus will be on how IT and financial stocks navigate policy headwinds. Stock futures indicate mild weakness, reflecting investor concerns over global rate changes and local regulatory signals.
