These delivery-based buying comes ahead of the result of the US Presidential election, as its outcome could influence policies that directly affect the Indian IT sector.
The Nifty indices of IT and PSU banks witnessed the highest delivery activity in Monday's trading session, while the Nifty 50 closed with a decline of over 1%. The benchmark index had fallen over 2% during the session and pared the falls before closing at its lowest in over a month.

These delivery-based buying comes ahead of the result of US Presidential elections. The US election outcome can influence policies, which directly affect the Indian IT sector. Many Nifty IT companies rely on US clients and employ a significant number of professionals in the US. So, any changes in policies or regulations can impact operational costs and revenue growth of Nifty IT companies.
The US elections will indirectly impact the Nifty PSU Bank stocks through capital flows, currency fluctuations, and global economic policies that influence lending and credit conditions in India.
