Foreign Investors Post Largest Equity Outflow in Six Months Amid Rising Oil and Yields
Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) recorded their largest single-day equity sell-off in nearly six months on September 29, offloading nearly Rs 10,000 crore amid rising crude prices, higher US bond yields, and market weakness. September saw cumulative FII outflows of around Rs 33,864 crore, with FIIs net sellers in most sessions. Domestic institutional investors (DIIs) remained consistent net buyers throughout the month, offsetting foreign outflows and keeping combined net flows positive. Elevated oil prices and tightening global monetary policies have contributed to these trends, impacting India's inflation and currency.
