FIIs Show Early Stabilization in Indian Equities Amid Market Rally and Easing Oil Prices

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) showed early signs of stabilization in Indian equities, turning net buyers in recent sessions and supporting market recovery, though weekly flows remained slightly negative. Domestic institutional investors (DIIs) continued to provide structural support despite net selling on specific days. The market rallied with benchmark indices rising nearly 0.65%, aided by easing crude oil prices following Middle East ceasefire developments and improved sentiment around US-Iran talks, which also strengthened the rupee.
