News Topical,Digital Desk : Foreign investors (FIIs) have bought shares worth Rs 32,466.4 crore in the Indian stock market in the last eight days. However, this month they have also seen a net selloff of Rs 5,678 crore. But on a monthly basis, this figure of selloff is decreasing rapidly. This attitude of FIIs towards the Indian market has happened after US President Donald Trump's 90-day tariff break and soft stance against China.
Donald Trump has also withdrawn his intention to remove Jerome Powell, the chairman of the US central bank Federal Reserve. This reduced the value of the dollar and foreign investors got an opportunity to invest in emerging markets like India.
Net buying may return after three months
There are still three days left in April. If FIIs continue to buy, they can break the three-month selling streak. So far in 2025, FIIs have sold shares worth Rs 1,22,252 crore. There was selling of Rs 78,027 crore in January, Rs 34,574 crore in February and Rs 3,973 crore in March. FIIs had made record selling in October On Friday, FIIs sold shares worth Rs 2,952.33 crore, while domestic investors (DIIs) were net buyers of Rs 3,539.85 crore. In the last business year (till March 31, 2025), FIIs have sold seven times on a monthly basis. The highest selling happened in October (94,017 crores) and January (78,027 crores).
Why are these foreign investors returning to India? According to V.K. Vijaykumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments, FIIs are now buying continuously in the Indian market. In the last eight days, they bought Rs 32,466 crore. This change happened despite the India-Pakistan tension. There are two reasons for this: First, the price of the dollar fell from 111 to 99. Second, there is a possibility of a decline in the US economy, while India will remain stable with a growth of more than 6% and the earnings of companies will increase. Other experts also believe that the investment of FIIs will remain strong in the future and the market will get more support from this. They say that India's strong economic condition and the earnings prospects of companies make it attractive for global investors. The market will now focus on the negotiations on the tariff agreement.
