FIIs maintain aggressive selling spree in Indian market, sell equities worth Rs 66,600 cr in Jan so far

-



Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) have maintained a consistent selling trend in the Indian equity markets throughout January, being net sellers on almost every trading day this month, with total equity sales in the cash market reaching Rs 66,602 crore as of January 24th.

The data has been procured from the National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL).

“The sustained strengthening of the dollar and rise in US bond yields have been the principal factors driving the FII selling,” said V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, attributing this sustained selling to macroeconomic factors.

The strategic analyst further highlighted that the selling trend is likely to persist as long as two key global financial indicators remain elevated.

“So long as the dollar index remains above 108 and the 10-year US bond yield remains above 4.5%, the selling is expected to continue,” Vijayakumar noted.

The sell-off has particularly impacted the financial sector, which comprises a substantial portion of FII portfolios. However, the information technology (IT) sector has shown some resilience.Vijayakumar suggested that this potential buying interest in the IT sector is due to the improved sector prospects and positive management commentary.Going forward, the IT segment is likely to witness buying, he added.

In the past few months, the FIIs have maintained a persistent selling trend in Indian markets, driven by global economic uncertainties, rising US bond yields, and dollar strength.

The massive sale in the Indian equities by the foreign investors has also resulted in significant volatility and potential challenges for investors in the market.
