Record Net Selling by Foreign Investors
For the first time in history, foreign investors (FIIs) have recorded net sales of over ₹1 lakh crore in shares. Typically, such large sell-offs would result in a significant market downturn; however, Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) have stepped in to purchase shares, helping to mitigate the decline.
So far in October, FIIs have net sold ₹1,00,242.17 crore worth of stocks without making any net purchases. In contrast, DIIs have net bought ₹97,090.83 crore, viewing the market dip as an opportunity.
