Foreign Investors Withdraw ₹13,138 Crore From Indian Stocks in September So Far
Rising crude prices, higher US bond yields and a stronger dollar weigh on overseas investor sentiment.
NEW DELHI, Sep 14: Foreign portfolio investors have withdrawn ₹13,138 crore from Indian equities during the first half of September, reflecting growing caution among overseas investors amid heightened global economic uncertainty.
The outflows have been attributed to several factors, including rising crude oil prices, higher US bond yields and a strengthening US dollar, which have reduced the appeal of emerging market assets.
Global markets have also faced pressure as investors assess the prospect of higher interest rates in major economies. Oil prices have climbed sharply amid geopolitical tensions, adding to concerns over inflation and corporate costs.
The latest withdrawals add to the broader selling trend witnessed by foreign investors in Indian equities this year. Market participants are closely watching global interest rate expectations, currency movements and commodity prices for further clues about overseas fund flows.
The renewed selling comes despite India’s long-term growth prospects, highlighting the influence of international market conditions on foreign investment decisions.
