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

FPIs invests Rs 11,500 crore in Indian equities in March thus far

Foreign investors have put in Rs 11,500 crore in the Indian equities so far this month, mainly driven by bulk investment from the US-based GQG Partners in the Adani Group companies. Going ahead, FPIs may take a cautious stance in their approach in the coming days following the collapse of the US-based banks -- Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank -- that dented sentiments in the market, experts said. According to the data with the depositories, Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) invested Rs 11,495 crore in Indian equities till March 17. This came after a net outflow of Rs 5,294 crore in February and Rs 28,852 crore in January. Prior to that, FPIs infused a net amount of Rs 11,119 crore in December, data showed. "This (inflow in March) is inclusive of the bulk investment of Rs 15,446 crore by GQG in the four Adani stocks," V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, said.
