FPI selling spree continues in Nov at Rs 26,533 cr, pace of outflow slows

Foreign investors have pulled out Rs 26,533 crore from the Indian equity market this month so far owing to increasing allocations to China, concerns over muted corporate earnings and elevated valuation of domestic stocks. While the sell-off continues, the quantum of net outflows has significantly reduced compared to October, when Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPI) withdrew Rs 94,017 crore (USD 11.2 billion) on a net basis. With the latest pull-out, FPI outflows on a net basis are Rs 19,940 crore in 2024 so far. Going ahead, the flows from foreign investors into the Indian equity markets would depend on the policies implemented under Donald Trump's presidency, the prevailing inflation and interest rate dynamics, the trajectory of the geopolitical landscape, and the third-quarter earnings performance of Indian companies, Himanshu Srivastava, Associate Director - Manager Research, Morningstar Investment Research India, said. According to the data, FPIs recorded a net outflow of Rs 26,5

FPIs withdrew around Rs 20,000 cr from equities in last 5 trading sessions

The exodus of foreign investments from Indian equity markets continued unabated, with FPIs pulling out nearly Rs 20,000 crore in the last five trading sessions on higher valuations of domestic stocks and shifting their allocation to China. As a result, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have turned net sellers in the equity market, with total outflows reaching Rs 13,401 crore for 2024 so far. Going ahead, the FPI selling trend is likely to continue in the near term till data indicate the possibility of a trend reversal. If the Q3 results and leading indicators reflect a recovery in earnings, the scenario can change with FPIs reducing selling and even turning buyers. Investors will have to wait and watch for the data, VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services, said. With the newly elected US president not assuming office until January 2025, the Indian market's near-term direction will be more influenced by domestic factors like the Maharashtra assembly ..

Two Mauritius-based foreign portfolio investors -- LTS Investment Fund and Lotus Global Investment -- have reportedly approached the Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) to seek urgent relief from adhering to Sebi's new norms for foreign investors.

They have asked SAT to direct Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) to give more time to meet these rules. Sebi set a deadline of September 9 for non-compliant FPIs that fail to provide detailed ownership disclosures to sell off their excess holdings and correct their violations.
