FII selloff intensifies! Foreign investors sell Indian equities worth Rs 45,000 crore in just 6 sessions
Foreign investors sold Indian equities worth Rs 45,125 crore in October's first six sessions, nearly matching September's outflows. Elevated US bond yields and crude oil prices continue to pressure markets, while inflation data and geopolitical developments could influence the selling trend.
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) have been rapidly selling Indian equities worth Rs 45,000 crore in just six sessions of October, nearly matching the total outflows of Rs 45,536 crore recorded in September. Analysts suggest that this intense selling could change the market trend if factors like US bond yields decrease. The Indian stock market has ended a record eight-week losing streak but FIIs continued to be net sellers of Indian equities for 11 consecutive sessions.
The sharp FII outflows have resulted in a loss of Rs 3,60,952 crore in Indian market equity sales in 2026, contributing to negative Nifty returns this year.
