Foreign Investors Sell Indian Equities Amid Global Risks; Domestic Buyers Provide Support
Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) have continued to sell Indian equities, withdrawing over Rs 44,000 crore in September and around Rs 9,500 crore on October 1, driven by elevated US bond yields, high crude oil prices, and global uncertainties. Domestic institutional investors (DIIs) have offset much of this selling with net purchases exceeding Rs 76,000 crore in September and Rs 10,000 crore on October 1. Despite this support, Indian stock indices like the Nifty and Sensex have declined for multiple consecutive weeks, reflecting cautious investor sentiment amid inflation concerns and currency depreciation.
