Foreign Investors Withdraw from Financials and Healthcare, Increase IT Sector Investments
In early October, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) withdrew significant funds from Indian financial services, FMCG, healthcare, and automobile sectors, with outflows of Rs 8,634 crore, Rs 8,172 crore, Rs 5,497 crore, and Rs 6,533 crore respectively. Conversely, the IT sector attracted Rs 2,599 crore in investments, reversing prior outflows and benefiting from positive technical indicators and seasonal trends. Factors influencing FPI sentiment include rising US Treasury yields, crude oil prices, and currency uncertainty, while sector-specific earnings and valuations also played roles.
