FPIs take out Rs 9,800 cr in Oct amid rise in US bond yields, uncertainties

Foreign investors have pulled out nearly Rs 9,800 crore from Indian equities this month so far owing to a sustained rise in US bond yields and the uncertain environment resulting from the Israel-Hamas conflict. This came after Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) turned net sellers in September and pulled out Rs 14,767 crore. Before the outflow, FPIs were incessantly buying Indian equities in the last six months from March to August and brought in Rs 1.74 lakh crore during the period. This inflow was largely due to the reduction in US inflation from 6 per cent in February to 3.2 per cent in July. The temporary pause in the US Federal rate hike from May to August also played a role, Kislay Upadhyay, smallcase manager and Founder of FidelFolio Investments, said. Going ahead, the trajectory of FPIs' investments in India will be influenced not only by global inflation and interest rate dynamics but also by the developments and intensity of the Israel-Hamas conflict, Himanshu Srivastava,

FPIs take out Rs 4,800 cr from equities in first fortnight of September

Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have pulled out close to Rs 4,800 crore from equities in the first fortnight of September on rising US bond yields, a stronger dollar, and concerns over global economic growth. Before the outflow, FPIs were incessantly buying Indian equities in the last six months from March to August and brought in Rs 1.74 lakh crore during the period. In the coming days, FPIs are likely to press sale as the market is at record highs and valuations are high, V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, said. "With high bond yields in the US (the 10-year is at 4.28 per cent) and the dollar index above 105, FPIs are likely to sell more," he added. According to the data with the depositories, Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) pulled out a net sum of Rs 4,768 crore from the equities so far this month (till September 15). This figure includes bulk deals and investments through the primary market. This came after FPI investment in equiti

FPI inflows hit 4-month low at Rs 12,262 cr in Aug on resurfacing inflation

After pouring a whopping amount into Indian equities in the past three months, foreign investors have slowed down the pace of inflow to Rs 12,262 crore in August on higher crude oil prices and resurfacing of inflation risks. "FPIs are adopting a 'wait and watch' approach rather than making a complete U-turn. There continues to be uncertainty in the global economy and the underlying scenario is fast changing. This will make the flows from FPIs volatile," Himanshu Srivastava, Associate Director - Manager Research, Morningstar India, said. According to the data with depositories, Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) invested a net amount of Rs 12,262 crore in Indian equities in August. This figure includes investment through the primary market and bulk deals, which have been gathering momentum recently. This is the lowest investment in the last four months. Before this investment, FPIs invested over Rs 40,000 crore each in the past three months in Indian equities. The net inflow by FPIs

FPIs' buying spree continues; invest Rs 45,365 cr in equities in July

Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) continue with their buying spree in July with a net infusion of Rs 45,365 crore in Indian equity markets on stable macroeconomic fundamentals and steady earnings growth. However, it appears that the momentum of buying has slowed down and FPIs have turned sellers during the two trading days ahead of the US Federal Reserve meeting on Wednesday. "The US Fed signaled the possibility of more hikes going ahead and ruled out the likelihood of rate cuts any time soon. "The potential impact of rate hikes on global liquidity would have led foreign investors to re-evaluate their investment decisions," Himanshu Srivastava, Associate Director - Manager Research, Morningstar India, said. According to the data, FPIs have been continuously buying Indian equities since March and infused Rs 45,365 crore this month. Only one trading day is left in July. This figure includes investment through bulk deals and primary markets, apart from investment through stock ...

This is the highest investment by FPIs in the last six months. Before this, they made a net investment of Rs 36,239 crore in equities in November 2022, data available with the depositories showed.

The outlook for FPI flows has significantly improved, primarily due to the completion of the quantitative tightening cycle in the US and India's recent outperformance in comparison to global equities, Shrey Jain, founder and CEO of SAS Online, said.

Prior to that, FPIs made a net investment of Rs 11,119 crore in December, data with the depositories showed.
