Foreign Investors Shift from Buying to Selling Indian Equities in Early September
Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) showed strong inflows into Indian equities in July and August, with over Rs 30,000 crore invested in August alone, driven by sectors like Consumer Services, Financials, and Healthcare. Positive factors included India's 7.8% GDP growth, stable rupee, and better corporate earnings. However, in the first week of September, FPIs turned net sellers, withdrawing Rs 7,443 crore amid rising crude oil prices, higher US bond yields, and a firm dollar, which dampened risk appetite. Domestic institutional investors continued to support the market despite FPI selling.
