Foreign Investors Pull Funds from Indian Equities Amid Valuation Concerns and Rising US Bond Yields
Equity Market Takes a Hit as FPIs Withdraw Substantial Funds
Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have been pulling out significant amounts of money from Indian equities due to concerns over high valuations and the rise in US bond yields. This sell-off has been particularly pronounced following HDFC Bank’s recent earnings report, which fell short of expectations. Despite the pressures on the equity market, there has been a contrasting trend in the Indian debt market, with FPIs showing a growing interest.
FPIs Shift Focus to Indian Debt Market Amid Rising US Bond Yields
While FPIs have been pulling out between Rs 13,000 crore and Rs 16,455 crore from Indian equities, they have simultaneously shown an increased interest in the Indian debt market. This shift in focus can be attributed to the climb in US bond yields, which typically reduces the attractiveness of stocks, especially in emerging markets like India. As US bond yields have increased from 3.9% to 4.15%, Indian debt has become more appealing to FPIs, resulting in an investment of Rs 15,647 crore into this asset class.
IT Sector Sees Boost in FPI Investments Following Positive Reports
The information technology (IT) sector in India has witnessed a boost in FPI investments following positive reports regarding the third quarter. This indicates a more selective approach by foreign investors, who are likely identifying potential opportunities within this sector.
