FPIs keep debt market bets steady despite narrowing bond yield gap

Spread between Indian and US 10-year bond yields at 3.14%, narrowest in over a decade

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' 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 ...

FPIs stay invested in Indian equities; put in Rs 43,800 cr this month

Indian equity markets continue to draw foreign portfolio investments as foreign investors put in Rs 43,800 crore in July so far on stable macroeconomic fundamentals, steady earnings growth and challenges faced by the Chinese economy. With this, inflow in the equity market reached Rs 1.2 lakh crore so far this year, data with the depositories showed. Market analysts are of the view that the outlook for FPI inflows into Indian equities remains quite bright and broad-based. The concern, however, is the rising valuations. At high valuations, some negative triggers can lead to a sharp correction, V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategy at Geojit Financial Services, said. Persistent flows from FPIs have led Indian equity markets to surge to their all-time high levels. Therefore, intermittent profit booking cannot be ruled out going ahead, Himanshu Srivastava, Associate Director - Manager Research at Morningstar India, said. According to the data, FPIs have been continuously buying In

FPIs to bet on equities; infuse Rs 30,600 cr in first fortnight of July

Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) flow into the Indian equity market remained unabated as they invested over Rs 30,600 crore in the first fortnight of this month, driven by the country's robust economic growth and strong corporate earnings. If this trend continues, investment by FPIs in July will exceed the figures recorded in May and June, which were Rs 43,838 crore and Rs 47,148 crore respectively. With this, inflow in the equity market reached Rs 1.07 lakh crore so far this year, data with the depositories showed. Market analysts are of the view that the outlook for FPI inflows into Indian equities remains quite bright and broad-based. "The concern, however, is the rising valuations which are getting stretched. The valuations in China are hugely attractive now compared to valuations in India and, therefore, the 'Sell China, Buy India' policy of FPIs cannot continue for long, "V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategy at Geojit Financial Services, said.

Sebi to reduce listing time public issues; to mandate disclosures for FPIs

Markets regulator Sebi on Wednesday approved various proposals, including reducing the time period for the listing of shares in a public issue, mandating additional disclosure requirements for foreign portfolio investors and introducing board nomination rights for unitholders of InvITs and REITs. These were among the seven proposals approved by Sebi's board during its meeting here. The board has cleared reducing the time period for the listing of shares in public issues from the existing 6 days to 3 days from the date of issue closure (T Day). "The revised timeline of T+3 days shall be made applicable in two phases i.e. voluntary for all public issues opening on or after September 01, 2023, and mandatory on or after December 01, 2023," the regulator said in a release.
