infosys share price
A spectacular rally is being seen in the shares of IT companies today, in which the shares of Infosys also jumped by about 4 percent. Recently, there was a huge fall in the stock of this IT company because the market sentiment had deteriorated due to the introduction of Anthropic AI.

Shares of HCL Technologies and Persistent Systems gained around 2 per cent each, while Tata Consultancy Services, Mphasis, Tech Mahindra, Wipro and LTI Mindtree gained more than 1 per cent each.
Infosys and Anthropic announce partnership
Today’s sharp rise in IT stocks comes after Infosys announced a strategic collaboration with Anthropic to develop and provide advanced enterprise AI solutions to companies operating in telecommunications, financial services, manufacturing and software development.
Under this partnership, both companies will integrate Anthropic’s cloud models, including cloud code, with Infosys Topaz AI offerings. A special Anthropic Center of Excellence will also be started to create and implement AI agents as per the needs of different industries. Dharmesh Kant, head of equity research at Cholamandalam Securities, said the collaboration with Anthropic is a big game changer and added that investors will keep an eye on any comments from IT companies on the changes coming from AI.
Why are there fluctuations in IT shares recently?
IT stocks fell sharply earlier this month on concerns of increased competition from artificial intelligence (AI) after Anthropic launched a legal AI tool for its cloud AI chatbot. Investors are still worried that AI is increasing competition for software companies. The IT index recorded a decline of 8.2 percent last week, which is its worst performance in the last 11 months.
In January, employment growth in America increased more than expected and the unemployment rate decreased to 4.3 percent. These signs of strength in the labor market may give the Federal Reserve an opportunity to keep interest rates stable for some time, while policymakers will keep an eye on inflation. However, the health sector saw a sharp increase in salaries. Job openings and other signs point to a slowing labor market, according to economists cited by Reuters. It also said that employment growth was mainly concentrated in the healthcare and social services sectors, which accounted for almost the entire employment growth.
