However, the recent momentum in small-cap stocks has led to another round of bigger inflow from Foreign investors. In the past five weeks, $212 million have come into India Smallcap funds," said Sunil Jain of Elara Capital.
Among global sectors, IT flows remain the strongest. Global financial flows again recovered after two weeks of slowdown. Industrials also continue to witness inflows. Recovery in global bonds, largely high-yield bonds continue.

However, the weekly pace of inflow was between $1.2-$1.5 billion, which expanded to 8-year high of $12 billion in the previous week. Foreigners have been exiting China since August 2023 and shifting a big portion of that liquidity into India. Inflow in China was across sectors but largely into Industrials, IT, Staples and Discretionary," said Jain.
