FPIs pull ₹12,257 cr in 1st week of Sept on strong dollar, tariff concerns

Foreign investors pulled out Rs 12,257 crore (USD 1.4 billion) from Indian equities in the first week of September, weighed down by a stronger dollar, US tariff concerns, and persistent geopolitical tensions. This came following a net outflow of Rs 34,990 crore in August and Rs 17,700 crore in July. With this, the total outflow by Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) in equities reached Rs 1.43 lakh crore so far in 2025, data with the depositories showed. In the coming week, FPI flows are expected to be driven by US Fed commentary, US labour market data, RBI rate cut expectations and its stance on rupee stability, Vaqarjaved Khan, Senior Fundamental Analyst, Angel One, said. "While near-term volatility may persist, India's structural growth story, policy reforms, such as GST rationalisation, and expectations of an earnings revival could bring FPIs back once global uncertainties ease," Himanshu Srivastava, Associate Director - Manager Research, Morningstar Investment, said.
