Foreign portfolio investors invested Rs 6,480 crore in Indian markets in October, reversing months of outflows.
FIIs Inflow
After months of net withdrawals, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have returned to Indian markets, investing Rs 6,480 crore so far in October, driven by robust macroeconomic indicators.
This comes on the heels of substantial outflows in recent months: Rs 23,885 crore in September, Rs 34,990 crore in August, and Rs 17,700 crore in July, according to depository data.
The renewed inflows signal a positive turnaround in sentiment, highlighting growing global investor confidence in India’s market prospects.
VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited gave two factors of this change: One, the valuation differentials between India and other markets, which were high earlier, had come down significantly in recent weeks following the rally in other markets and consolidation in the Indian market. Two, the growth and earnings prospects for India have been revised upward by market experts. The GST cuts and the low interest regime are expected to boost India Inc’s earnings in FY27, which the market will soon start discounting.
Nifty Outlook
Nifty made a fresh 52-week high, breaking out of a falling trendline with a strong weekly gain of 1.68%, marking its third consecutive weekly rise. Nifty gained 2 per cent last week to end at 25,709. The bullish momentum is supported by heavyweights trading above key EMAs, a positive MACD, and RSI near 70, indicating robust buying interest.
Resistance is expected near 26,000, where a breakout could push the index towards all-time highs around 26,300. On the downside, the 25,400-25,500 zone remains critical support, providing a strong base for sustained upward movement amid positive market sentiment and healthy inflows, argued Puneet Singhania Director at Master Trust Group.
