Foreign investors have been net buyers of cash shares in each of the previous 10 sessions, with net inflows totalling around $600 million, exchange and regulatory data show.
However, data late on Friday showing the economy grew a slower-than-expected 4.7 percent in the October-December quarter from a year earlier could reinforce concerns about growth.
