FPIs infuse Rs 4,800 cr in equities in first week of Jan on economic boost

Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) continued their buying spree and poured close to Rs 4,800 crore in the Indian equity markets in the first week of January driven by confidence in the country's robust economic fundamentals. Additionally, they injected Rs 4,000 crore in the debt market during the period under review, data with the depositories showed. With expectations of a prolonged decline in US interest rates in 2024, there is an anticipation that FPIs will likely escalate their purchase, particularly in the initial months of the New Year leading up to the general elections, V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, said. Further, FPI inflows into debt will also see acceleration in 2024, he added. According to the data, foreign investors made a net investment of Rs 4,773 crore in Indian equities this month (till January 5). This came following a massive investment of Rs 66,134 crore in December and Rs 9,000 crore in November. The latest flow ca

FPIs pour Rs 57,300-cr in equities in Dec on account of political stability

Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have injected over Rs 57,300 crore into the Indian equity markets this month so far owing to political stability, robust economic growth, and a steady decline in the US bond yields. With this, total investment by FPIs surpassed Rs 1.62 lakh crore this year. Going forward, the New Year is expected to witness declines in U.S. interest rates, and FPIs are likely to increase their purchases in 2024, V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, said. According to the data, FPIs made a net investment of Rs 57,313 crore in Indian equities in this month (till December 22). This was the highest monthly inflow by them in a year. This came following a net investment of Rs 9,000 crore in October. Before this overseas investors withdrew 39,300 crore in August and September, data with the depositories showed. The robust inflow from FPIs into the Indian stock markets can be attributed to various factors. Primary among these are .

FPIs withdraw Rs 2,000 cr in first week of Aug due to Fitch downgrading

After five months of sustained buying, foreign investors have turned net sellers and pulled out over Rs 2,000 crore from the Indian equities in the first week of August, mainly due to Fitch downgrading the credit rating for the US. In addition, the rich and stretched valuations and minor profit booking could be the reasons for this outflow, Yes Securities Chief Investment Advisor Nitasha Shankar said. "A sharp spike in the US 10-year bond yield above 4 per cent is a near-term negative for capital flows to emerging markets," Geojit Financial Services Chief Investment Strategist VK Vijayakumar said. If the US bond yields remain high, FPIs are likely to continue selling or at least refrain from buying, he added. According to the data with the depositories, Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) withdrew a net sum of Rs 2,034 crore from Indian equities during August 1-5. This came after unabated net inflow in the past five months -- from March to July -- following the resilience of the In
