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.

FPIs stay glued to Indian equities; infuse Rs 16,405 cr in June so far

Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) continued to invest in Indian equities for a fourth straight month as they injected Rs 16,405 crore in June so far on the country's strong economic rebound and positive growth outlook. FPI flows touched a nine-month high of Rs 43,838 crore in equities in May, Rs 11,631 crore in April, and Rs 7,936 crore in March, data with the depositories showed. Before that, FPIs had pulled out over Rs 34,000 crore during January-February. "Considering the current investment trend, it is expected that FPIs will continue to show interest in the Indian market throughout the month," Mayank Mehraa, Smallcase manager and principal partner at financial consultancy Craving Alpha, said. The ongoing economic recovery, positive corporate earnings, and supportive policy environment are likely to sustain the inflow of funds, he added. However, valuation could become a concern as Indian markets continue to surge and stricter regulatory norms could also check foreign money .
