  "account": "New Delhi: According to analysts, foreign portfolio investor (FPI) outflows from Indian equities are expected to persist as a result of soaring US bond yields and improved returns from India's IPO market. FPIs continue to sell shares on stock exchanges while simultaneously investing in the primary market, demonstrating a preference for new offerings despite reservations about listed equities. Through August 25, equity outflows via exchanges amounted to Rs 25,682 crore, while primary-market investments reached Rs 8,551 crore by September 25, as reported by Dr VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Investments Ltd. For the year, FPI selling through exchanges totaled Rs 2,95,971 crore, with primary-market investments amounting to Rs 54,398 crore. In September, FPIs withdrew ₹20,974 crore from Indian equities, despite high US bond yields and opportunities in the IPO market fueling this pattern of secondary-market selling alongside primary-market purchases.

Indian equity benchmarks ended lower for the seventh consecutive week due to weak domestic and global cues. FPIs withdrew Rs 7,443 crore during the first week of September. The Sensex declined 0.54% to 73,895.74, while the Nifty fell 0.88% to 23,140.50. Midcap and smallcap indices also underperformed.

External factors, such as crude oil prices and geopolitical events, continue to shape market sentiment. Although domestic growth indicators are improving, the uneven market depth underscores the influence of external risks. Analysts recommend a cautious approach towards new investments, even with a positive growth outlook.",
