FPIs Inject Over Rs 20,000 Crore Into Indian Cash Markets in Six Sessions

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) have pumped over Rs 20,000 crore into Indian cash markets over six sessions from October 28 to November 4, marking a sharp reversal after prolonged selling. This buying spree has coincided with a five-day stock market rally, with the Sensex closing above 77,000. FIIs turned net buyers on October 28 with Rs 872 crore, then accelerated purchases, including Rs 6,837 crore on November 3 and Rs 7,284 crore on November 4, totaling Rs 20,835 crore. They also bought index futures aggressively, while domestic institutional investors turned net sellers during the same period. The flow reversal is supported by easing crude oil prices and improving global sentiment. FIIs have also shown renewed buying in Bank Nifty futures, suggesting growing bullish positioning across segments, which could provide a tailwind for Indian equities if sustained.
