Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) recorded net equity sales worth Rs 1,805 crore, while Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) made net purchases of Rs 5,430 crore in the latest trading session. This divergence highlights contrasting strategies between global and domestic investors amid ongoing market volatility and macroeconomic uncertainties.
Indian equities witnessed mixed movements as FIIs continued to trim exposure, reflecting caution over global interest rate expectations, crude oil price fluctuations, and geopolitical risks. In contrast, DIIs stepped in with strong buying, providing support to benchmark indices and stabilizing investor sentiment.
FII Selling Pressure
FIIs have been net sellers in recent sessions, driven by concerns over currency volatility and global growth outlook. Their cautious stance has weighed on sectors sensitive to foreign flows, including IT and financial services.
DII Buying Momentum
Domestic institutions, including mutual funds and insurance companies, have capitalized on market corrections to accumulate shares. Their strong inflows have cushioned the impact of FII outflows, particularly in banking, infrastructure, and consumer-focused sectors.
