Domestic mutual funds pumped in Rs 52,850 crore in equities during CY19
As the year draws to a close, the debt market has seen a net inflow of nearly Rs 27,000 crore by FPIs, while a further amount of Rs 9,000 crore found its way to the hybrid instruments
Prior to this, FPIs had poured a net Rs 16,464.6 crore in October and Rs 6,557.8 crore in September into the domestic capital markets (both equity and debt)
FPIs have been net buyers for the second consecutive month. In September, FPIs invested a net Rs 6,557.8 crore in the domestic capital markets
Foreign portfolio investor stake in the company has increased to 16.57 per cent as on June 30, 2019, against 11.56 per cent at the end of December 2018 quarter.
If there is a trade deal between the US and China, all markets are likely to move up, said Himanshu srivatsava, senior research analyst at Morningstar
In the first five months (January - May) of the current calendar year 2019 (CY19), FPIs have invested a net of Rs 76,051 crore ($ 10.9 billion) into the Indian equities.
Over $3 billion already invested in domestic equities in March; Fed pause, hopes of political continuity key drivers
FPIs put in a net amount of Rs 19 billion in equities and Rs 35.77 billion in the debt markets
Marketmen attributed the inflow to persistent fall in crude oil prices, which dropped to over 15-month lows, and strengthening rupee against the dollar
So far this year, FPIs have pulled out over Rs 880 billion from the capital markets
The recent inflows come after a net outflow of more than Rs 389 billion in October, which was the steepest withdrawal in nearly two years
The move will give FPIs ample time to realign their holdings to comply with the new requirements
After three months of huge outflows from April till June, analysts said it is encouraging to see FPIs making a comeback in July and August
According to the latest depository data, foreign portfolio investors pumped in Rs 24 bn into equities and Rs 51 bn into the debt market during August 1-17
The latest fund infusion comes following a net inflow of over Rs 23 billion in the capital markets -- equity and debt -- last month
The financial sector saw net FPI inflows of $1.1 billion during the first half, while the IT space has seen inflows of $1.04 billion
However, FPIs' contribution to the equity market capitalisation remained unchanged from the previous quarter at 19 per cent.
Both equity, debt inflows will see volatility in 2018-19 in terms of investment by FPIs as a result of global trade tensions, Fed rate hikes in the US as well as 2019 general elections in India
According to the depositories data, FPIs infused in a net amount of Rs 57.69 billion in equities and Rs 29.40 billion in the debt markets during January 1-19
