After 2 straight months of inflows, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) turned sellers in April. FPIs sold Indian equities worth ₹8,671 crore during the month on the back of a rise in US bond yields and higher crude oil prices.
After outflows worth ₹37,632 crore in the financial year 2022-23 (FY23), foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) returned as buyers in the current financial year (FY24), buying Indian equities worth ₹2.04 lakh crore so far.
Selling by the big bulls restrained the upside in benchmark indices, as the BSE Sensex clocked just 0.3% gains. However, FPIs turned net buyers in March after being net sellers in both January and February
