Foreign Portfolio Investors Show Mixed Buying and Selling Trends in Indian Equities
Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in India have shown mixed trends recently. After a prolonged selling streak earlier in 2026, FPIs recorded their longest buying streak in two years from June to August, focusing on sectors like financial services, consumer services, autos, and consumer durables. However, this buying momentum reversed in early September, with FPIs selling stocks amid rising crude oil prices, higher global bond yields, and profit booking. Market participants note that while seasonal factors and sectoral recoveries influence FPI flows, external economic pressures continue to affect investor sentiment.
