Research Himanshu Srivastava, Associate Director-Manager of Morningstar Investments, said that FPI activities indicate possible changes in recent rapid perception, but the stability of this flow will depend on the global large economic status, stability in the US trade policy and the landscape of India’s domestic growth.
During the week, trading took place on only three days- Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 15 to 17 April. The stock markets remained closed on Monday and Friday due to ‘Ambedkar Jayanti’ and ‘Good Friday’. Overall, FPI has withdrawn Rs 23,103 crore from shares so far in April. Due to this, his total withdrawal has increased to Rs 1.4 lakh crore from the beginning of 2025.
Srivastava said that in the early part of the month, the FPI had sold out aggressively. This was mainly due to the counter -duty of the US on various countries of the world. Srivastava said that India’s strong domestic economy, some relief from global trade disruptions and recent ‘correction’ in Indian stock markets have improved the perception of FPI due to attractive evaluation.
