Foreign funds sold shares worth Rs 368 crore on Wednesday, provisional exchange data shows.
Traders are getting jittery after the premium in Nifty futures reduced, coupled with heavy selling in the last 30 minutes of trade on Wednesday, accounting for 35% of total traded volumes, as per Reuters data.
