Foreign Investors Reduce Holdings in Indian Equities and Bonds Amid Market Pressures
Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have continued to reduce their holdings in Indian equities and government securities amid rising crude oil prices, elevated US bond yields, and pressure on the rupee. FPIs offloaded over ₹13,000 crore in equities in early September, erasing much of August's inflows, while pulling ₹5,109 crore from government bonds recently. Domestic institutional investors partially offset these outflows by buying equities. Analysts attribute the selling to high valuations, currency depreciation, and geopolitical tensions affecting market sentiment and inflation concerns.
