FPIs buy Rs 53,739 crore in Indian equities in first nine days of November

Foreign institutional investors (FPIs) have turned net buyers in Indian equity markets, investing Rs 53,739 crore in the first nine days of November. Provisional exchange data indicates that foreign inflows into Indian equities seen in the past week suggest a return of FPIs to the market. This activity contrasts with previous months where investors were cautious, such as the Rs 20,974 crore withdrawal from equities in September amid global uncertainty. The shift to net buying reflects a change in sentiment regarding the Indian stock market's prospects. These figures represent the cumulative purchases made by foreign entities during this specific nine-day window.

FPIs Pull Out Rs 34,843 Crore From Indian Equities in October

Foreign portfolio investors withdrew Rs 34,843 crore from Indian equities in October. It marked the second consecutive month of heavy outflows. Concerns over elevated crude oil prices, global interest rates and the corporate earnings outlook drove the selling. Foreign investors turned net buyers towards the end of the month. They infused around Rs 6,300 crore during October 26-30, compared with net outflows earlier in the month. The trend will be watched as markets respond to global cues.

FPIs withdraw Rs 48,056 crore from Indian equities in October

The cumulative outflows reflect significant selling pressure throughout the month. However, reports indicate that FPIs moderated their selling last week, turning into net buyers on two trading days. This suggests a potential easing of the downward trend in foreign investment.
