“FPIs have turned sustained sellers in the market. They sold for eleven consecutive days taking the cumulative selling to ₹14,300 crore. And, the money taken out is being invested in the underperformers of last year like China and Europe, which are doing well now,” said VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.
“Clearly, FII money is chasing lower valuations by selling in overvalued markets like India. This is the important trend in near term FPI activity. If this trend continues, it might weaken the Indian market further,” he said.
However, If the FPI selling continues, it will open up opportunities for investors, he further said and added, “FIIs will sell stocks in which they are sitting on profits, like the banking segment. And this segment continues to be strong”.
